Greens advacate fiscal responibit and would legisiate an end ta 'd efr i'it"udgeing. Any debt already incurrod wouid be amortized over a strict timne framne but without sacrificing pniority social programs. We would elimanato govemment waste, cut back MP pensions, swatch ta a proportional representatian electoral system, abolsh or reforrn the Senate into a constituent assembiy, and encourage referenda, intervenar funding adpublic hearings. Greens would croate a zera-garbage society by supporting minimal packaging standards, etc. and camprehensive recyclinq prograffs: reduce C02 omissions- stop aIl toxac discharge Into water, air and lanci by target date of 2000; surpprt organic farminq; support sastainable fsh and forestry practices, thus saving u fenvronment and h undreds cf thouans of jobs. Greens would eliminate- clear-cutting and save ail remnaining oid growth forests; phase out pesticides which are hazardous ta human and other lite; protect and restore habitat for endangered species;. support energy conservation and chemical-free products and services; stabilize population levels which are fundamnental arnd critical ta our future wel-being. We would prepare for the post-petraleumn era by supparting research and development for better mass transit and renewabie energy technologies which would save the environmont and create jobs for the long terni. Huge savings would be realized by carefuiiy phasing out nuclear power which is extremely dan gerous. Greens would consolidate ail existing social assistance programs into one guaranteod incarne supplement plan ta eliminate poverty. This would be more effective and less expensive to administer. We would ensure the best health care and education are the right of ail and would extend hoaith care caverage to include dental, chiropractic and naturapathy, and emphasize prevention of disease through diet, exercise and a cean enviranment. The Green Party would support paid retraining job sharing and a shorter wark week.We wouid revam p the justice system ta r ensure public safety and we would promote cent ai Canadians.

DOUG ANDERSON Ch ange wilnt corne tram within the system.\ Canadiens must tae back contra f themsolves. The constatutionel referendumn was a first stop. The election ai an ndependent an e piatfarm ai eccountability wouid be e ogical foilow-up. Unliko othor ridings n Canada which must choase ram the usuel assortment et phony promises, Ontario riing hasa emai choice. The metionship between an MP and his constituents shauid bo essentially the same as botween an employer and an employeo. The voteras are hiring someone ta represent themn and because they re peying him, they, should be able ta direct how ho duoes his job. If thoy're not satisfiod, they should be able ta ire him. i will be eccounitebie. 1 wilb hold regular public meetings,1 focus groups, surveys, etc. an order ta fully understand the opinians and aspirations of my constituents. i will thon represent those majority views regardless ai My awn opinions. I wilb aise work ta implement e process of recali whereby constituents an ailrndangS. will have the abiiity ta remove MPs who lad ta represent them properly. The election ai an independent candidate is an extremely rare event addrny election on the issue ai eccounitabiiity wilil put that issue et the top ai the politicai agenda in every camer of the country and et ail levels ai goverment. i arn noa rngor ta long odds. 1 publiciy chaibenged the GST n 1991-92 by withhaling close ta $40000 in rerittances for a year-and-a-haif. Voters who attended any ai the al-candidates' debates or watched them on cabie TV have seen haw webl b did. b wili be a vo7 strang representative. in survey after survey, a huge rnajority ai Canadians have indicated that they went politicians ta isten ta thom, ta tell them the truth and ta keep the promises they make. b believe 1 arn the only candidate in ail Canada who is responding directly ta those aspirations. i arn running because someano, somewhere had ta be off ering that choice. If people vote with their gut Instincts, i will win easily. Don't waste your vote on anything bss. LIBERAL PARTY By Dan McTeague This election is about change, its about jobs, its about appartunity and, most of ail, its about hope). 1arn running as a candadate an thas electian ta restore hope and ta croate jobs and opportunities for the people in Pickening, Ajax and Whitby.

Govemment shauld be a refiection ai the people they represent. The Liberal Party has candidates running in every riding ln Canada.
