The Citizen, 1988-04-13, Page 21THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1988. PAGE 21. Liberals have shown 'responsiveness' Scott says Continued from page 1 ‘Marlboro man’ of cabinet,” Mr. Soctt said. He went on to say that the Liberal government has shown its respon siveness to the ‘‘overwhelming number of Ontario voters” who supported it in the last election by remaining true to the three basic principles of its mandate: that of upholding a policy of openness with those it represents; of repair ing and expanding the ‘‘social and other programs which have suffer ed from 42 years of neglect”; and of not backing away when there were difficult decisions to be made. To illustrate, he outlined the decisions his government had made in the sensitive issues of extra billing, abortion and Sunday shopping, concluding that Liberals everywhere are ‘‘paying us to make tough decisions, and we’re making them.” Calling abortion the most divi sive issue his government has had to deal with, ‘‘an issue that divides families and turns Christian against Christian,” Mr. Scott said that his department had upheld its principles and its lower court decisions against Dr. Henry Mor gentaler right up to the supreme court, but decided to live with the decision handed down by the highest court in the land when ‘‘it told us (our principles) were wrong.” In the matter of Sunday shopp ing, Mr. Scott said the Liberal party had ‘‘looked atreality and looked at history” before introduc ing the bill to leave the final decision up to each municipality, noting that in the past the communities had been the ones to decide if their restaurants, and later their ball parks, could remain open on the Lord’s Day. ‘‘The opposition parties went bonkers,” the attorney-general said, ‘‘but our proposal takes into account the great diversity of this province. Whenthebillisintro duced, you will all have the right to make your own decisions.” ‘‘If you want a government that backs away, that does nothing when the going gets tough, you won’t be supporting us in the next election,” he concluded. ‘‘But with your help, and with God’s, we can keep Ontario great.” The final business of the evening was the election of the new executive of the Huron Liberal Riding Association, and the selec tion of delegates to the Ontario Liberal Party’s annual meeting in Ottawa on May 6-8. Joe Hogan of Exeter was re-elected president of the associa tion upon a nomination by Wayne Elston of Wingham; John Jewitt of RR 1, Londesboro, was re-elected to the position of first vice-presi dent, followinganomination by Simon Hallahan, of RR3, Blyth; and Jack Horan of RR 4, Walton, was elected as second vice-presi dent, on a motion by Graeme Craig, of RR 1, Walton.
