It's very. difficult; it's a very fine juggling act and the government has to keep a strongeye on it all the time. Women's Issuer I'personally support the. concept of equal pay for work of equal value. Based on. competence, ' and ability and training, if (women) can do the job then they should do the job and they should be paid to do the job, the same as any man should be; That's what it should be based en. In the debate the other night (on women's issues) I thinktMr. Turner has made a strong commitment for affirmative action programs for women, for the government taking the initiative and taking leads in the role of women ' in the- work place. The Liberal' Party is running 43 (women) , candidates in the federal election, over twice as many as the Conservative Party is running:: I think that in itself says very clearly how women feel about the Liberal. party's stand on women's issues. Mr. Turner mentioned the other night in the debate that Mr. Mulroney, had asked something like 39 questions in the House of Commons since he became leader and amaz- ingly enough not one of them had to do with women's. issues. , I think the Liberal Party is by far the party that wants to get women involved.

Local Issues Small business and agriculture basically make up mosf of our riding, These areas ate. of concern, and the. future of them, like the viability of the family farm programs, have to be developed so that papSing the farm from, one generation to the next is easier, We have. to be .looking at such 'things as ,the agribond concept. The problem with the proposal. right now' as L understand .it is that . in the government's' view it doesn't provide enough benefits to the borrower nor enough security to the lender, but there will be no doubt when an , agribond concept comes forward. The government.. is looking at extending the services of farm creditto act as a guarantee of mortgages so that'" when a retiring farmer sells his farm to his son or his neighbour or whoever; the mortgage in itself is maintained by the man but is guaranteed by farm credit in some way, shape or form. We have the Minister of Agriculture- next door to us new who represents a riding very much similar to our own. I know Ralph well, he's, a successful farmer and a very smart man. I think it would serve the people of :this riding well to have a member of the govern- nent inside the house to work with Mr. Ferguson on future developments in this, area.. He's not. only Minister of Agriculture but he's also in the Cabinet and he certainly. Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" 482-7103 COL• CLETUS DALTON °AUCTIONEER *Real Estate *Farm.
