Thompson said education is an important part of her family. A PC government is supporting the full_. implementation of full-day kinder- garten after k demonstrated its need, as well as plans to reinstate fall report cards and allow teachers to "have control of their classrooms:' Many questions surfaced sur- rounding the pending closure of the Walkerton Jail. Thompson committed the PCs to an "Economic Impact Study" to review the facts behind the reasoning and chastised the Liberals for stonewalling a Freedom of Infor- mation request into the figures gov- erning the Liberals decision to close. it. Robertson said it's a "yes or no" answer and the. NDP party commit- ted not to closing the jail, recognizing the 50 jobs that will be lost under the Liberal government and the funding lost to municipalities from prisoner transfers: He also said their's a need to tie in a regional addiction centre into the facility. Mitchell admitted there are "holes In the math" regard- ing the jail closure, but said her gov- ernment is committed to keeping the courthouse open. She then shot back at the PC party for closing 28 jails dur- ing their last tenure. Friends of Wind's Tuna Spletts- toesser questioned the candidates on their stance on wind power, directing it first at Thompson and the PC Party which looks to upset the deals cur- rently being made with wind compa- nies and rework the Green Energy Act (GFA). Thompson said the public "can't affordenergy experiments, adding that more nuclear power is needed for the mix and municipal controls, which were stripped by the GEA, should be restored. Valenta followed up by saying large wind projects shouldn't be the focus of the government, but instead smaller individual uses should be investigated. Robertson said it takes "a great deal of incompetence to mess up some- thing as positive as renewable energy". I -le said industrializing the rural set- ting with turbines is causing division in Huron -Bruce communities. He said environmental assessments should be a part of the plans, as well as community decision -marking and siting, along with the promotion of energy conservation. Mitchell said she "supports clean air" and the closure of coal plants, with nuclear as the baseload supply source of electricity for Ontario. She said Smart Metres will promote con- servation and does not support the PC plan to make a "dual -track" sys- tem to give people the option to opt out The Liberal government's 25 -year energy plan outlines how "hydro will go down" in price, which was met with boos from the crowd. A young man in the audience asked how the government would assist In making post -secondary education more affordable. Robertson said an NDP,govern- ment would freeze tuition costs and relieve people of the provincial inter- est on their student loans. "There's no need for banks to line. CEOs' pockets with interest charges,' he said, adding that both post -sec- ondary and apprenticeship training are vital to a strong workforce. Thompson said Ontario is the high-- est igh-est cost for post -secondary education in Canada, so their goal is to provide OSAP support to the middle class and ensure McGuinty's "$30 million for- eign scholarship"plan is not implemented. Valenta said making it easier to go to school will "cost taxpayers." "I low hard are you willing to work to make my life better," he saki. Ed Merrick of Kincardine said he was scared for has health, family, ani- mals and property values because of wind turbines in the area and asked what the candidates would do to alle- viate his fears. Robertson said his fears are justi- fied and committed to limiting the "industrial model" currently used, while allowing communities to choose whether or not they want the projects, or the size that fits their com- munities. He added support is also needed by those currently impacted by turbines in their communities. Thompson said the PCs will put a moratorium on wind power con- struction, as well as tighter controls on setbacks and against gag orders that prevent people from speaking about the negative impacts after their properties are bought out. Mitchell said she's in favour of clean air and maintained their is no direct link to medical problems caused by wind turbines, according to the Ontario Medical Officer of Health. etwork Classifieds: % AUTO FINANCING APPROVAL can get you approved for an mobile no matter what your cir- stances are.
