Participate in policy reform Constituents of the Huron -Bruce riding will have the opportunity to participate in the social security reform process. Paul- Skeckle, MP for the riding, says, "We need to have a process where people have input before final decisions are made." Comprehensive social security reform is a priority for the government. A schedule in which this refoijn will take place has been established and will lead to legis- lation and implementation of a reformed social security system. "There is no question that the system of social security has to be reformed; it was designed decades ago for a different era, Mr. Steckle added. "The system has served the country well, but now has to be updated to take into account the current social realities." Two public forums will be held: from 7 to 10 p.m. Mar: 17, in the Central .
