Page 8, Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, June 16, 1993 [i LoMcal MiPs predfiet new style from Cmbl ByMike Kowalski Canadiens can eXpect a new style ef leadership from their firat female p rime minister, Whitby's two Members of Parlia- ment prdi t. BthRene Soetens and Reos Stevenson agree that Kim Camp- bell will lie a more epen and accessible leader than some of hier recent predecessors. They expeet Campbell te in- volve more people in the pliticai proceas by net only allewing for greater public participation ini government, but actuaily hced- ing their advice. Whether or net Canadians support the cheice of Campbell as Progressive Conservative lea- der and prime minister is another matter, hewever. It will iikely lie a few mentha before votera pasa judgement on the decisien made b y Seetens, Stevenson and their fellow Tories last weekend. «Obviousiy ]I'm satisfied, the person I supported won," said Setens. "But more, important 1ýhan that, the party came threugh it (convention) united. There was ne divisiveneas, ne 'anybody but' campign,» he said. "Te challenge new is for the new leader te put tegether a cabinet and prepare for the elec- tien." The Ontario riding MP feels Campbell will be an "open and accessible" prime minister. "One who will be quite pre- pared te give lier position, but one who wiil invite more peeple te cerne inte the preceas,» he said. As he explained, "In the past you only heard the (govern- ment's)dcicisien you didn't hear the eroess leaâing te the dcci- sien. With Campbell, that wili change, Seetens believes. "People will have more epper- tunity te comment on dcci- siens ... she will bring a more initive apnnroach. a more fresh 'f)uhamridi MPStevenson, who aise backeg Campbell, con- curred. «Giveni the opportunity and time ahe will bring a different style and approach te the prime ministership and gevernment," said the nerth Witby represen- "People will see more open- ncss ... public hearinga, that sert of thing,» he said. Aitheugli ho expects Campbell te reduce gevernment funding of «special interest» groupa, this is net at edds with her desire te open up the political proceas, Stevenson said. "She'll give p opie more input without them being members ef specific interest groupa and (teuting) a particular uine,» he said. "Given time she, will make quite a change." Stevensen cdaims his party bewed te, the wishes ef ana- dians in its cheice of Campbell. "The message we got ioud and clear is that people wanted a new face, net an old retread. Unlike the'Liberals with (Jean) Cliretien," he said. While he adrnitted seme of the Tories «core pelicies" will net change, such as reducing the size of government viid its expendi- turcs, voters will notice a dif- ference, Stevensen said. "Some of the directions will be similar but the method .ef how those decisions are made will change. The process and style will change," he said. Net surprisingly, the exu- berance fe-t-by tevenson and Seetens for Canada's next prime minister is net shared by Dur- ham Region's sole opposition member. "There will be a change in style, but ne substantive change,'» said MP Mike Breaugh. "Ail of the leadership candi- dates were part and parcel ef what Mulroney did,» the Oshawa New Democrat said. Until last Sunday, Breaugh's party was the only one led by a wemaü, -- Audrey McLaughlin, who replaced Ed Broadbent as NDP chief three years ago. "(But) I den't think it will hurt us te have another major politi- cal party led by a woman,"' aid Brcaugh. Especialiy one headed by someone "who has a habit ef walking around with her foot stuck in her xnouth,» he said. "'I don'% think it matters much who's leading the (Tory) party. I think people have pretty well made up their minda," Ireaugh added. According te Stevenson, Camp- bell is "a very warm persen whe capable. "She!s anythinq, but a loose cannon as t he daxly media tried te make her out the past few weeks.» However, this is the «grossly unfair» perception some people have of Campbell and tat is why Stevenson suggests she net call an election seen. "Peeple need a chance te get te know her," hie said, adding "lier agenda will be full eneugh ever the next month witheut thinking tee much about an election.» Seetens aise feels Campbel sheuld take time te settie inte hier new role. "She's got some things te learn. She has te get a botter handle on issues facinig Cana- dians (fror a prime mini.ster's perspective)," lie said. One of Canipbell's early'tasks will be choosing a cabinet, but Seetens dees net forsee a local MP boing picked. «She's cemmitted te reducing the size ef cabinet- and when there's a reductien Ontario leses cabinet spots," he said... «I don't think the chances are geod.n Wanted:,Out.st adng Young entrepreneurs METROPOLITAN LIFE Insurance held a with Paul Badham, grantd opening recently at its new office in and Jackie Ritchie ont omery Place.
