Davis for
leadership
Statement by The Hon C.
Before indicating - the
candidate I will support for the
leadership ' of the Ontario
Progressive Conservative Party, I ,
want to join in the many
tribunes to the Honourable John
P. Robarts, P.C., Q.C., who has
announced his intention to
resign as Prime Minister of
Ontario.
As one of his close associates,
I have, been gratified to, see the
extent to which the personal
qualities of Mr° Robarts have
influenced the development of
. this province over the past nine
years. I believe that the stability,
sensitivity and sophistication of
the .Ontario of 1970 reflects
directly the, leadership of this
outstanding Prime Minister. I •
feel' that his dedication to the.
Canadian nation has contributed
to a new 'federal -provincial
framework which is providing a
more mature govern=ment
structure for this country.
I was one of those who
supported Mr. Robarts for the
leadership of the Ontario
Progressive Conservative Party in
1961 and 1 was also one of those
r.
S. MacN.aughton
who urged hip to remain as
Prime Minister of Ontario. While
I regret his decision to retire, I
respect his desire to encourage
new direction for ' both the
province and the party in the
years.
'Among the many. capable
'colleagues who could provide ,
outstanding leadership to this
province, my personal choice is
the Honourable William G.
Davis, Q.G., the Minister of
Education and of University
Affairs. His exceptional
capacities have been
demonstrated by the remarkable.
'advance achieved in . these
priority portfolios during a
difficult period of rapid
expansion and constant change.
While one could never expect
a consensus in this important
field of public service, I suggest
that Ontario's recent record in
education can compare with any
jurisdiction in the modern
world. Mr. Davis has overseen
the provision of personnel,
facilities and environment for
