Huron -Bruce MPP and Minister of Health Murray Elston chats with Lucknow village
councillor George Anderson and Don McTavish during an informal "Meet Your Can-
didate" get-together at the homrof Mary MacDonald of Ripley. Will there be an election'in
Ontario in the near future? Elston says if it's called, it won't be announced for at least
another two weeks, because of an upcoming throne speech and Ontario budget announce-
ment. (Alan Rivett photo)

to present it," said Mr. Elston, which could
further delay an announcement on an
election.
Liberal NDP Accord
As for the much publicize accord bet-
ween the Ontario Liberals and NDP, which
will end in June, Mr. Elston said the main
items included in the accord, including
extra -billing, pay equity, reform in the
workplace and daycare, have all been
touched on, and legislation proposed by the
Liberals.
"We've exhausted the items (in the ac-
cord) and we've carried out all the en-
quiries. The NDP was not happy how we
did it, but no matter how much we did,
they wanted something extra. ... After the
legislation was passed, they wanted all the
credit, but when the administration work
was to be done, they didn't want anything
to do with it," he said.
Mr. Elston, when asked for a central
issue of an election, says it will be based on
leadership with Premier David Peterson
showing himself to be "the best of all the
(party) leaders."
"He has addressed the tough issues, ex-
plained the issues, and has invited com-
ments from the public. Some people have
said, 'he talks to me like we were sitting in
my livingroom'. People appreciate his ge-
nuine nature," he said.'
When asked of any problems with adap-
ting to running in a new riding (Bruce) ,
Mr. Elston said the biggest problem is the
size of the riding and getting around to
meet the people.
"I'm trying to meet as many people as I
can. I'm going to have to work on covering
the ground," he said.
As for election issues unique to Bruce
County, he recognized that the rural
economy is under stress, but conceded it
was a problem which has hit the rest of the
province as well. He said the province is
countering the slump in the rural economy
by increasing the size of the agriculture
budget.
In Bruce County, the government has
also supported industrial expansion with
the advent of the Bruce Energy Centre in
Kincardine with the province committing
$6.5 million to cover the costs of bringing
water and sewage services to the boun-
dary of the site.
Most of all, Mr. Elston said the people of
Bruce County want to be listened to by the '
government. He said Premier Peterson
has made a commitment to ensure that the
entire province play a part in the
government.
"The people of Bruce want a govern-
ment which pays attention to them...As a
government, we won't forget about any
part of the province," he said.
