rnd reduce the six -figure
salaries of CEOs in the healthcare
field, limiting them to no more
than double the salary of the Pre
mier of Ontario.
"We spend an incredible
amount of healthcare money on
bureaucracy and that (limit on
CEO salaries) is more than suffi-
dent in my mind," he says.
Robertson says the NDP wants
to Increase the number of long-
term care beds in Ontario by
20,000 to eiminate the waiting list
into long-term care facilities and
free up the more hospital beds for
the patients who need them. He
adds that creating more long-term
care beds will end up creating
more construction jobs.
Robertson says he is one of the
original voices supporting risk
management for farmers, an issue
he says cannot be claimed by any
one political party since it was cre-
ated by a grassroots movement
among Ontario farmers.
"Anyone who claims that one
party is responsible for risk man-
agement is false," he says.

Robertson says the NDP wants
to examine spending at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
and determine how much is actu-
ally getting to the farmers.
"We want to create a strategic
plan for agriculture in Ontario with
benchmarks for the next five to 20
years. Agriculture is the number
one industry in Ontario surpassing
the auto industry and yet there are
no longterm plans and very little
attention paid to it," he says, add-
ing he's concerned that no one
knows where the next generation
of'farrners will be coming from.
"Fifty-three is the average age of
the Ontario farmer and that
number is going up - that's the
demographic cliff we're driving
over head-on, he says, adding that
"so many" jobs depend on a
healthy agricultural industry.
Grant Robertson and his wife
Sarah Slater have three children.
He is a library supervisor in Luc -
know and Ripley and lives on a
chicken and beef farm near
Paisley.
