sign of a tired and aging government."
Riddell has been the Huron -Middlesex MPP since a
byel e 'on in 1973 when he won the battle to replace
the ruing Honourable C.S. MacNaughton.
Riddell disputed Premier Davis' tagging of Liberal
• leader Dr. Stuart Smith as Dr. Negative saying,
"Surely he • didn't think the party under Stuart
— —Smith's -leadership -was -negative -when it introduced
, ' policy, much of which the government used to im-
prove the educational system and particularly Bill 82,
the' special education legislation which was simply
unworkable before the Liberals amended the bill
_ . when ft came -before -the -Social- Development Com-
mittee.
Surely the Premier didn't think we were negative
- _ when we inztroduced-a-Swall Business Act which the
government slowly but surely used to stimulate small
business although we have a long way to go yet to
help the small businessman.

'Surety the Government didn't. think we were
negative when we set up a task force on labour to
travel the length and breadth of the pr,ovince to ascer-
tain ways to improve labour -management relation- .
ships and handling disputes. Does the Premier think
we were negative when we finally got the government
to take some action on the non -residence foreign
ownership of land.
"Were we nota force to be reckoned with when we
stopped further imposition of regional government,
further closing of hospitals, and the 371 percent pro-
posethncrease in OHIP premiums? • ;•
"Were we negative when we forced the minister of
environment to hold a hearing on the South Cayuga
site selected for the construction of a liquid industrial
waste treatment plant?"
On the subject of leadership Riddell said, "who has
been standing at the helm the last ten years in which
time Ontario has dropped to last place of all the Pro-
vinces in economic performance? This is a sad, sad
commentary when you consider that no province in
• Canada is more blessed with natural' resources,
technological know-how and well educated people.
Yet our people are having to leave this province
because there are no job opportunities here.
"The present government is in a rut under Davis's
leadership. Showing his . true blue colours and ex-
emplifying conservative doctrine and philosophy he
is so committed to the status quo that he can't accom-
modate himself or his party to the, requirements of
the present. That is the difference between Con-
servatism and Liberalism.
"Conservatives are so obsessed with preserving
what is established and so opposed to innovation and
change that when times are tough and there is need
for reform the Conservatives simply dig deeper in the
rut.
"The Liberal party on the other hand believes in
reform where there is obviously a need. They have a
loyalty to the tested achievements of the past and to
things that are permanent but they also insist on be-
ing open to the changing forces of history. •
"This country was built by a sturdy people. What
men and women they were! Read again the story of
this nation - anywhere - the Maritimes -Quebec -
Ontario, the West - the building of the CPR. This
country was built by those who did, then, what had to
be done.
"We can do no less! The requirements of today are
just as exciting and just as possible as they were
since the days this country was first settled.
Everything.depends on our response."
The meeting attended by about 100 at the Exeter
Legion hall was chaired by riding president Bernard
Berm of Lucan and Howard Aitken of Goderich handl-
ed the•election procedures.
The gathering was welcomed by Exeter Mayor
Bruce Shaw. Also in attendance were Perth MPP
Hugh Edighoffer, Huron Warden Fred Harberer and
Murray Elston, the Liberal candidate in Huron -Bruce
who is replacing the retiring Murray Gaunt.
Elston, a 31 -year-old Wingham lawyer defeated
five candidates in a stirring nomination meeting a
night earlier in Lucknow when 1,132 persons cast
ballots.
Ironically, the candidate Murray Gaunt defeated to
win the Liberal nomination in 1963 was the new can-
didate's father Bill Elston.

during the campaign referring to Smith as being
negative towards Ontario.
"He calls me Dr. Negative;" said Smith, "but con-
sidering the present administration, it's easy to
figure out who is Dr. Doolittle."
The Liberals are not negative about Ontario, stated
Smith, they're negative about the Davis government.
Smith told his supporters that the economic crisis
in Ontario is so severe that 25,000 people are on in-
definite layoff, 28,000 jobs have disappeared in the
last year alone and 30,000 people have left the pro-
vince to seek: opportunities elsewhere.
In agriculture he noted that the net farm income
dropped 32 percent in the last year and there has been
a farm bankruptcy every three days over they same
period. Smith asked why the province's farm in-
dustry should be slipping so badly when we have ex-
cellent agricultural resources and prime agricultural
land in this province.
Smith commented he can't fathom why the Davis
government hasn't moved to get the Bruce industrial
project underway. The Bruce has the potential to use
excess heat to create new industrial developoment,
which will benefit the area economically and create
jobs, said Smith. He suggested nuclear technology
could also be used to produce hydrogen at the Bruce.
Smith concluded Wsaying that a Liberal govern-
ment in Ontario would use the province' -s resources
and its people to make Ontario a leader again in
Canada.
