( Alan Rivett photo) CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1985 -Page 9 dove -gin at Liberal gathering in Stratford By Stephanie Levesque It was a Liberal Dove -in at the annual meeting of the Ontario New Liberals held in Stratford this past weekend. Thunderous applause greeted each guest speaker. Of course, each speaker was a well-known Liberal in Canada. Premier David Peterson opened the func- tion for the young Liberals, mostly universi- ty students. Premier Peterson, along with Hugh Edighoffer, speaker of the provincial legislature, and Brian Innes, Liberal can- didate in the last federal election, all spoke on Friday night. Saturday started off with another ivell- known Liberal - John Turner, leader of the opposition party in Canada. He was in- troduced by the federal Liberal house leader Herb Grey. Both men took potshots at the federal Pro- gressive Conservative government. Taking advantage of the fact they were ihStratford, home of the Shakespearean Festival, Mr. Grey said the Tories have been "A Comedy of Errors". Mr. Turner went on from there, calling the government, '`Much Ado About Nothing". "As a matter of fact we could carry on for about 20 minutes," joked the opposition leader. He hit the serious side though, by com- menting on the difference one year makes. "A year ago, political pundits thought the Liberals would go the way of the British Liberal party," said Mr. Turner. However, he said those Liberals who didn't believe the party would phase out have started to rebuild the party. He praised the young Liberals in attendance for their efforts in rebuilding the party. "If you work hard enough," Mr. Turner told the 350 delegates to the weekend con- vention, "the party will succeed." He referred to the present Liberal MPs as "custodians" of the party for the younger generation now working its way up through the ranks. Ranks, that he himself went through, he said. "I've worked for a cause, I've sealed envelopes and I know the excessive amount of detail that goes into a convention like this," he said. "Political parties are no mystery. They are volunteer organizations," he said. Getting more specific, Mr. Turner added, "We need young ideas." The federal Liberal brought the same message -that the premier brought the even- ing before. "We're here to listen to you," said Mr. Turner. The former prime minister warned the government about its dealings with the United States. "Our identity is at risk. Canadians have paid the price for five or six generations. However, the price of being a Canadian is worth paying," he said to a standing ova- tion. Provincial treasurer Bob Nixon was the guest speaker for the evening. An expected visit from Paul Martin senior was cancelled at the last minute. John Wise waiting for tripartite to be signed By Stephanie Levesque Federal agriculture minister John Wise has signed a tripartite national stabilization agreement and he is waiting for provincial agriculture ministers to put their signature to the document. "I've been waiting for two weeks," Mr. Wise told a crowd of about 200 at the Strat- ford Rotary Club's annual rural -urban night on October 31. Mr. Wise said there is a vehicle in place to put forward the tripartite stabilization pro- gram, an idea that has been tossed about between the federal and provincial govern- ments for the past 10 years. "The vehicle is there, the wheels are on. r NOW "INSIDERS REPORT #2" ZEHRS OFFER YOU ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF ANOTHER TOTALLY NEW "INSIDERS REPORT".

There is no sense in me driving down the road by myself. I want some passengers," said Mr. Wise indicating the passengers should be . the provincial agriculture ministers. • With the support of the Progressive Con- servative .caucus, the agreements involve setting up a national income stabilization fund for beef and pork. Three parties, the federal and provincial government and the farmers themselves pay into this fund in times of high prices and during times of poor prices farmers take from the fund. Mr. Wise acknowledged that not all. the provinces would come into the agreement. "Quebec will not sign, we know that," he said. Not only Quebec, but British Columbia is also not expected to sign the agreement for pork and beef,.said Mr. Wise. However, the federal government intends to push forward for this with the remaining provinces in- cluding Ontario. . "I just want him ( Ontario agriculture minister Jack Riddell) to come to Ottawa and sign the papers," said Mr.. Wise. The day before Mr. Wise's visit to Strat- ford, Mr. Riddell had indicated that his federal -counterpart was holding up the pro- cess.. Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta are expected to sign' both pork and beef agreements: Manitoba may only sign the pork agreement while Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and possibly New Brunswick will join the cattle agreement. Free trade was another issue on which -the federal agriculture minister was question- ed. Mr. Wise stressed that the federal government has only said it is willing to sit down and discuss the idea of negotiations, not actually negotiate. - "The only agreement we'll be signing will give a fair deal, a better deal, for Canadian agriculture," said the federal agriculture, mi ter. Igr Munro of Shakespeare, a former.New Democrat candidate in the last federal elec- tion asked Mr. Wise why a subsidy had recently been given to the tobacco growers. "It is not a subsidy. It is both a grant and an advance payment," he said, noting it has been given out annually for the past four or five years: . "Tobacco in this country is still .a legal crop," he added. . Private school report ready soon The report of the Commission oh Private Schools will be presented to the public and interested parties at a series of information sessions around the province, Education Minister Sean Conway announced. The sessions, to be held in several regions of the province, will give the public and in- terested groups the opportunity to review the report before submitting their responses to the Ministry of Education, Conway said. Details of the information sessions will be 'announced shortly. Responses to the report should be submit- ted to the Ministry of Education by April 30, • 1986. All responses to the report and it's recommendations will be received and analyzed by Ministry staff, Mr. Conway ad- ded. "Our goal is to ensure the report is widely distributed across the province and that suf- ficient time is allotted for public response.''' In releasing the report of Commissioner, Dr. Bernard Shapiro, Mr. Conway said "it is a thoroughly researched document with far- reaching public policy implications, and it deserves serious attention." Included among the report's 61 recom- mendations are: * That all private schools be re -named "independent" schools; * That independent schools, after meeting specific conditions, can enter into associa- tions with local school boards to share in funding; * That all teachers in independent schools be required to hold specific qualifications; * That all schools meet certain curriculum requirements. The Commission on Private Schools was one of three commissions established in con- nection with the announcement by former Premier William Davis in June 1984 on the completion of funding for the Roman Catholic separate school system. The Com- mission visited 40 private schools in Ontario ' and received 514 written briefs.
