Junin and "Middlesex centred around the price con sumers are paying for pigs. Only too people attended the debate bet- ween Riddell and his competitors, P(' Bryan Smith and NOP Paul Klopp. Many of those were campaign workers, judging from hul Ions being worn. Each candidate was given a five-minute in troductory speech allotment and a concluding two -minute speech. The balance of the night was spent in each responding in turn to ques- tions submitted in writing by the audience•. Klopp was first on the program, and noted that one of the inain reasons he was running was due 10 the policy programs in Ontario Which are causing deterioration in the,, agricultural scene. Ile outlined the Nl)P programs for assist ing the family 1'rirm and small husiness, noting that farmers have to he given help to gel .l heir financing in order through low-interest rates over a long term: The Zurich area tanner also cited the need for policies in Ontario lo stop foreign -land ownership, which he said was a pressure on young farmer's -wanting lo- get into the business. "We have to get the county offices back to snuff'," he said in reference to the ministry of agriculture and food and said the NOP would work with the support marketing boards to get better prices for farm commodities. "if you're making over $75,000 annually, you probably won't be voting ND'P,""he ad- vised his audience, explaining the party would fill tax loopholes which provide benefits for the rich and would instal a minimum tax on people who make over 150,000. He said many in that category do not now pay income taxes. The NDP would also provide long-term in- terest rate assistance to small businesses to help them create jobs as well as help them fight large caporatiq s. "I share your concerns over what lies ahead," Smith said in reference to farming, which he noted has seen good and bad years. He butiined Miller's $40 million assistance• program which will reduce interest rates to nine and three-quarters percent on farm operating capital and also said that on June 1 the province would be involved in the na tional stabilization program for beef, hogs and sheep. He said that would be initiated "so farmers won't lose a great deal in any one year." Noting the federation's support for Premier • Davis in the past, the Lucan man said that the honest and fair treatment given farmers by Davis would continue under the present. "leader. Riddell's comment- on buying-a--pig--in a poke came in his opening,"remarks when' he decried the fact Premier Miller was reluctant to debate the other party leaders and that the number of all -candidates' debates in the riding would be limited due to a request from one of the camps. Ile said it. was unfortunate when voters were denied the opportunity to hear what the candidates have to say and he termed it a threat to the democractic process. That is also the label he put on the political patronage cercises of the government. Quoting .a London Free Press writer, Rid- dell suggested Ontario couldn't survive under one-party rule, likening the 42 -year Tory reign as being similar to one-party systems in Russia, Cuba, etc. He said parties which rule beyond two or three terms start to think they have a divine 'right to rule and inertia sets in. He blasted Miller for calling an election before calling the Legislature back to hearth( Throne speech. consider a budget or answer some important questions. "We weren't given the opportunity and now we're out on the election trail dealing with issues never addressed by the Premier." he commented. The Liberal member said he wanted to know Miller's agenda for getting Ontario's young people back to work. wanted to know what the government planned to do about an education system which has failed to meet those young peoples' needs and also wanted to know what the policy on full funding to the Roman Catholic schools would he so he could -talk inte"f Fgerrt h wtit lr pe pie ,tale v -eta a-4 ing. He said he also wanted to know the Premier's positon on the proposed hydro cor ridor in Huron and Middlesex. or if he had a hidden plan for more hospital closings 1 -1t - was concerned with the lack of interest \Idler appears to have in people as opposed to his struggle to retain power -Questions and answers followed arid some of the highlights of those were as follows both iliddel1 and Klapp said they w ou Id op Parties outline agriculture policies at OFA meei-.ng Representatives frombthe three political parties reAriewed their agricultural policies at the monthly meeting of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) in Toron- to. Liberal leader David Peterson, the Minister' of Agriculture and Food Philip An= drewes and the NDP agriculture critic Mel Swart made their agriculture -related pro- mises to the 125 -member board. "Judging from what we heard yesterday; all three parties have the same priorities for agriculture as we do," said OFA president Harry Pelissero. "They generally support the suggestions made in the OFA's agricultural issues platform, including the need to provi* farmers with loans at more affordable interest rites," he said. When the campaign was announced, the OFA developed a platform listing the major areas of concern to the farm community. The topics were finance, labour, education, affirmative action, marketing and environ- ment. The responses were v -ell re( oivec, by the board, Pelissero said. "It . 'tbvi is at the parties have given careful c is:''er'.tion to our platform. It is encouraging to se,: the amount of attention they are dedicates .g to agriculture: But hearing their commitments yesterday was not the end of this exercise for the OFA. It was the beginning." Pelissero said that for the OFA, which does not endorse any political party, the real work begins after the May 2nd election. "When the new MPPs are just settling into their new routine, you can be sure that the OFA will be there to greet them. We will keep reminding them about their campaign promises," he said. Pelissero said he was pleased with the 'high profile agriculture has in this election. A show of hands at the board meeting in- dicated that nearly three-quarters of the federations from Ontario's 47 counties and regions will be discussing the agricultural issues platform with their candidates. pose such 'a line -through the ''two counties, while Smith stated a concern that the line could go through valuable agricultural land. The latter said he would do his hest to ensure that the opponents had the information they needed to present their case at hearings. After saying "no sway" the line should gci through this area, Riddell said that was the message in 1982 and tie couldn't believe they'd reverse rl now. Ile said the government should send its top ministry personnel to make 1 he sante opposing stands as ()MAN' did in 11)112. Klopp, who was 00 the initial Foodland l lydro committee said any attempt at putting a line through the two counties should he slopped. !low to reverse (he situation of lower provin- cial grants to education and the resulting higher property taxes to pay for same. Riddell said the Liberals would go back to Gel percent Raiding r from the'l'ories' present 47 percent ), saying education was far loo im- portant to exix•c•t municipalities to pick up the extra burden. His party would also reform the lax system, saying it was ridiculous to collect properly lax from 1armers and then give them a rebate. 11e urged that the red tape and hureaucrac•y in That system be done away with and that only services to property should he put on property taxes. Klopp said th NDP would pay for educat ten through income tax so it' would not be a burden to local municipalities. Srnith .said the province should have the hist possible education system and he would cut minor programs, "but in the computer age, we have to keep up." Ile said most of the provincial grants coming to the municipalities were for ecducation . • Abortion Klopp and Smith voiced personal opposition to abortions. Klopp said there was a lot of mishandling of the present abortion situation and said opponents and -proponents would pro- bably never meet in the middle. Re said the party policy was to hack freedom of choice, but with it would go programs to promote On- tario as a place to have kids and where un- wanted pregnancies could he averted through proper education. Smith said he was not in. favor of abortions on demand. Riddell said the province has no jurisdiction over abortions on demand and therefore the questions was not .something •any Ontario party could do anything about. Ile said, however, he would come down hard on 1)r•. Henry Morgenthaler 'and his clinics, saying they should not be allowed and he failed to see the -reason why the province didn't take a stand against peo- ple who break the law. Ile said it was not Liberal policy to have greater access to abor- tion than at present under federal laws. Level of e•elucation and qualifications,Ur repre- sent the riding None of the candidates could understand the purpose of the question. Smith said he completed his high school educaton at night school and served "on Lucan council and several committees. He said life itse'f is an• 'education and he was interested in working with people. Riddell said self -education' is often the most successful. Ile's a university graduate. former agricultural representative, small business (Awe'', leacher and now farmer and politician. Ile said his'experience as a teacher enabled him to understand that vast changes were needed in the system and fortunately many had been made after the "cafeteria -style" education tried by former premier William Davis. Klopp said he wasn't as old as his opponents and therefore couldn't list as many experiences. Ile said that it was important, however, that no matter what a person did, the person did it well. Ile's a graduate of ('('AT and presently a farmer. Saving he had been married for eight -and -half Months, he was also now a good listener. He said that through farming with his father he was taught what to do, while his CCAT courses taught him why he was doing it. . Fai'in assistance Programs Riddell said the Liberal interest rate reduca(ipn program would drop the rates to eight percent tor farmers on their operating debts up to $20u.000 and said many thought this could get them over the hump. He sug- gested there will he "a lot" of farmers who. may have trouble getting spring re- quirements without this help. With hogs at 58 cents. he said many farmers wouldn't even be able to pay the nine and three-quarters percent nut lined by the Tories, He also said the Liberal program would include- farmers who rent. noting he never- could understand why renters couldn't participate in the Young F 11'iSTeT'�, rimgraril -X-topp said -the H+P would also bring interest rates to farmers down In eight percent and would re -open the Ontario Sayings off ice as a lender of first choice torfart-MOMfit' audthe-Tory program - now helps hankers. nal iarmers and the NDP would also help farmers gel Accent prices for products Smith outlined Ihe Tory OFAP and (11,A1' progra111 that will he mos. co. tocrne I)lun providing the assistance to farmers at nine and Ihrcc' rlunr•t'rs percent over three years Reid Ram , Smithasaid this was a big concern and the government is moving to reduce emissions by 1990. Riddell said industries haven't follow- ed government orders and the government in turn hasn't reacted. He said governments may have to give loans to industries, but it is imperative to make a start now to combat acid rain as 4,000 lakes in- Ontario have already been destroyed and the number would reach 40,000 in the year 2000 if nothing is done. Technology is .available but the government has never acted. Klapp also blamed the government for not enforcing rules for industrial pollution and said the NDP would make the rules stick and make industry follow them the same as other people have to follow rules. Eneouragment for small business Klapp said the NDP would,increase interest rate subsidy programs and the aid to farmers would also help small businesses hack on their feet as the two are partners in the economy. Riddell'said the Liher•als would pro- vide tax credits to small businesses, but on- ly if new jobs were provided. Ile said the tax holiday announced by the Premier was no guarantee that one new job would be provid- ed and in fact the money could he used to refurnish executive offices. Smith said the Enterprise Ontario program would provide tax breaks that would create more jobs and the skills and development part of the pro- gram would train those unemployed to 011 skill jobs. Supply management Riddell said he has always been a prop6- nent of marketing hoards and that without the chicken board, there would be no chicken in- dustry in Ontario. He expressed concern over the -price of quotas, and while he hoped they would.level out, that has not happened yet and it does restrict young people from getting in- to business in commodities covered by ' quotas. Ile said perhaps a ceiling is required on quota value, saying he hoped the govern- ment wouldn't have to set those but that the boards would recognize the problem and take steps themselves to correct it. He also warn- ed the day may come when marketing boards will be challenged in constitutional courts. Klopp said that the buyer actually sets the price of quotas and he is a strong proponent of farmers taking care of their own industry. He said other commodity groups should tackle the idea' of making changes to ensure they make money. Smith said that farming is specialized marketing and new people com- ing onto the scene could revitalize groups. . Separate school funding Smith briefly noted all three parties had agreed to the proposal. Riddell said the Liberals indeed supported the principle but had requested year after year that a select committee establish the guidelines and had Bill Davis followed that suggestion. there wouldn't be the problem of today where no one knows the extent of funding that Will be available or what _criteria the. separate schools will have to meet. He said the separate schools could actually lose their separateness under the Davis program and even Catholics were seriously questioning the programs. He said it was irresponsible of Miller not to call the Legislature back to allow members to hear the plans before the elec- tion call. Klopp noted that Davis had said "no way" to full funding when he wanted votes in 1971 and said the about-face was frustrating for teachers and boards in both systems. Ile said it was unfortunate the Tories had in fact made it an election issue by not having answers to the questions being asked about their plans. The ,NDP would not provide•aid to other private school systems and no cur- rent teachers would lose their jobs. P('B spill in Northern Ontario Riddell said it was unbelieveable that Ihe transport carrying the transformer which spilled PCBs was not labelled. He said there should be a code on such trucks; However, he said transformers of that nature were not be- ing used now and the problem could soon become a thing of the past. It was important to ensure that they are properly transported now. Smith said the material should be disposed 'of quickly and put away from our children's future. Such items should be handl- ed more carefully and there should he stricter regulations where they are stored and dumped. Klopp said it was important to get a safe place to dump dangerous wastes and that place should he close to the source so. long-distranee hauling is not necessary. Riddell was asked what the Liberals would do wit#rthe lio-baits seheot-in Londcitrt€-t4ae secondary school program there is closed. Ile quickly replied the Liberals would not allow it to close and said John Robarts would 'flip over tree -titres in hisgrave if he knew Ther -e was a move afoot to close it now. Riddell said it was discrimination to close the school for the deaf. Ile took the opportunity to blast the tiles for cit irig--the-(;nderit-'h-Psyrhrrtnc Hospital which he explained was rated as one of the hest in th world.
