With a strong rural background
Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell
thought she would make a .good can-
didate to fill the roll of chair for the
provincial government's rural cau-
cus.
And clearly so did her fellow
MPPs, who recently elected her to
the new position.
The caucus is a group made up of
18 Liberal MPPs from rural ridings,
who meet regularly to discuss issues
concerning their rural ridings.
Mitchell, who has been a member
of the caucus since the last election,
says when the previous chair
resigned, she threw her name in the
running because she wanted to
ensure that the chosen MPP be one
with experience.
"I felt it was important that a
MPP with a strong rural back-
ground have the position," she says.
"For me it's a wonderful opportuni-
ty. I consider it such an honour to
represent this rural riding," adds
Mitchell.

As chair, Mitchell says she will
now have more say in addressing
new policies that come forward and
she will get to act as "another lens
that get put on new policieii."
As would be expected, Mitchell
says agriculture, mainly income sta-
bilization, is the issue at the fore
front of the rural caucuse's discus-
sions.
But, Mitchell
says there are
still many other
issues to be dis-
cussed.
"Bridges,
roads, water, hos-
pitals, public
health - every-
thing that touch-
es your rural rid-
ing is discussed,"
she says.
"Our rural
community is so
diverse and has
different needs.
And finding the
balance there is
always the strug-
gle," she says.
