Old-line parties have lost public trust by telling people what's good for them rather than listening to them first, by not telling it like it is, by saying one thing and doing another, and by failing to provide substance," said Manning. Manning elaborated, on the last point: ''When political leaders offer the public photo ops as a substitute for substantive policy, that erodes public confidence in politicians and government. Farmers all over the country want a substantive statement on agricultural policy Liberals release action plan The Liberal Party released its action agenda to put Canadians back to work. Creating Opportunity, the document which was released last Wednesday by Liberal Leader Jean Chretien, and policy co-chairs Paul Martin and Chaviva Hosek, aims to put Canadians back to work and prepare them for the changing market place of the 1990's. "There is constant change going on around the world...the private sector needs the tools to adjust", Martin states, adding that government is the only mechanism to aid in this re-tooling. The Liberal document is a specific blueprint for job creation which would see government expenditures of $5.3 billion in education, research, and develop- ment off set by $7.1 billion in government cutbacks. Huron-Bruce Liberal Candidate Paul Steckle feels that the Liberal document is a responsible agenda for getting Canadians back to work. "The Liberals have provided a plan for recovery...and a policy that, Canadians can put their faith in." "This dodument covers all facets of the Canadian economy. From small business to agriculture, the Liberals have provided a positive direction for Canada in the 1990's." from both Campbell and Chretien. Instead they get a photo op of Kim on a tractor, and of Jean holding a calf. You can't take a photo op to the bank. You can't plan next year's operation on the basis of a photo op," said Manning. • Manning compared the loss of confidence in Kim Campbell's government with a business that's on the rocks: "When the Chief Executive of a $160 billion enterprise that's losing money at the rate of $35 billion a year and that's cutting back on essential services - when that Chief Executive can't provide a definitive plan for controlling over spending and says the books are in a mess, that erodes investor confidence, consumer confidence, public confidence, and makes everybody's situation worse." "This erosion of public confidence has reached such a point thgyoters are going to say: we don't care how long you've, been in parliament, we don't care how pretty your photo ops are, we don't care if you are Minister of that or even Prime Minister. If you will not or cannot give substantive proposals on the issues of importance to us, you will be replaced by someone who will." According to Manning, "The way for politicians to earn public trust and confidence is to let the people speak first, learn how to tell painful truths in a way that wins respect, and provide substantive alternatives on issues of concern to voters." Manning said that democratic reforms like free votes in the House of Commons, referendums, and recall were important to earn the trust of Canadian voters. "If you want to get trust you have to give it. Politicians have to demonstrate that they are prepared to trust the people by putting tools into the hands of the people that will give them some real control over the political process and politicians." THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1993. PAGE 13. Manning talks trust the Morris Twp Recreation Com- mittee.
