"I'm not knocking the legislature, it's a tough job for the minister." And what does the caucus plan on doing as far as gun, control concerned? "We don't all agree on hpw far we have to go," said Steckle, who has often voiced his opposition to Rock's proposals. While no decision has been made on how far to pursue this with the minister, a, couple opf caucus members made their views on gun control public last week. "If we were to follow the intent of the Justice Minister, Myriam Bedard would have had to had a trigger lock on her gun ,between firing stations,' said MP John O'Reilly of Victoria-Halibinton on Canada's Olympic biathlon gold medal winner. MP Julian ;Val of Halton -Peel said the caucus is concerned With cracking d�wn on uh stnuggling, making sentencing manditory, and registration. "Where, I come from, a rifle or a firearm is a tool that farmers want to keep using," said Reed. ActiveCaucus The Federal Liberal Rural Cau- cus had 20 of its members sitting around the table in Goderich last week. It gave several groups from tourism to agriculture a chance to come and make presentations. Steckle, a co-chair of the cau- cus, explained that the MPs are in- terested in the public forum and very concerned about rural issues acrosS Canada. "I think this govemment has made itself more available for this kind of thing. The rural caucus is a relatively new caucus," said Steck- le. The caucus meets every Mon, day and always has full agendas. Of the 177 federal Liberal MPs,. 90 of those either come from a ru- ral area of a combination of both rural and urban. And why is the caucus reaching out and tackling such controversial issues like gun control? "I think it's because we have a large representation of rural mem- bers and we want to be heard," said Steckle. The Mulroney governtnent had a rural caucus, but according to some at lest ikeek'S meeting, the Conservative caucus wastrtas at - live. "It's a chance to sit With 1001 people and get a better underStand- ing. We're not campaigning, it's not election time," said " IftOdy. "Rurtd Catilldiaas are well repre- sented by dteir members."

Hoekstra says that temperatures will remain normal or slightly ,be- low normal for the next two weeks, followed by a thaw later in the month. He's not making any prom- ises about an early spring either, Claiming that 'winter will run its course. However, January's weather has the experts shaking their heads. Some blame it on the 'warm air pat- terns in the Pacific Ocean, El Nine in particular. But Hoekstra says there tertainly are other.factors at work, such as volcanoes Which are blowing their tops and spewing -'ash into the annosphdre to block the sun. The cold temperatures on the weekend were a far cry from mid- January when existing records were broken for four days in a row -- Jan. 12, 13, 14 and 15 - and nw high temperatures were recorded, notes Hoekstra.
