The three other alternates will be selected by the local PC executive. It also was decided to subsidize the alternates to an amount equal to the con- vention's registration fee, $360. Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff said he is not sure if Peter Elzinga, federal PC party president, will be challenged for the position or, indeed, if Mr. Elzinga will 'seek the • party presidency again himself. Mr. Cardiff said there will be policy and issue forums and caucus meetings at the. convention. Members of the federal cabinet will be on hand to meet with delegates and the prime minister will attend the opening cere- monies on the night of March 13. ' The Member of Parlia- ment also gave an informal report on the government's agenda. "Things have been very difficult this fall — trying for the party and for the govern- ment," admitted 1VMr. Cardiff with references to the collapse of two western banks and the "Tuna Scandal". "The tuna situation was not a good thing," said Mr. Cardiff, who said he hoped all the details about the whole affair will come to light some day and the government will be seen in a better light. However things are going better at Ottawa than might be perceived, said the MP. The government is passing legislation and Mr. Cardiff is busy working with agricul- ture and commerce and trade committees. In fact, the MP just returned froni trade talks with the Chinese. Mr. Cardiff also said he was pleased to announce that a federal grant of $125,000 has been secured for preliminary , work at the Goderich museum. "There's much more going on than meets the eye," he said, adding he thinks it would be wise to end this session of Parliament and begin fresh with a new Throne Speech to re- establish the direction of the government as has been suggested. The evening ended with an informal discussion between Mr. Cardiff and those present at the meeting.

Hamilton East MP Sheila Copps was the featured speaker at the meeting, telling the 200 association members that as the federal Liberal Party works toward the next election it must 'thank the Liberal troops of southwestern Ontario who stayed with it'through thick and thin. "Every time I come to this neck of the woods I really feel, as a Liberal, I'm coming home," she said. One area that has remained strong, even when people said we were a dead party has been southwestern Ontario." She noted the local support for MPPs Murray Elston, Jack Riddell and Hugh Edig- hoffer and asked the help of local' Liberals to elect a federal member in the next election. Mrs. Copps attacked the record of the Mulroney government, saying it has lost the confidence of Canadians and threatens to "sell the country down the river" with its plans for free trade. She told the partisan crown that, "Four years of Tory government is not a long time, but it can do an awful lot of damage," also declaring that, "What is at stake is the 'very survival of the country that we Liberals can be proud we helped to build and will be building again."
