The four nominees spoke on party policy, free trade, nuclear submarines and a variety of other issues, Shown here from left to right are: Tom Clark of the Chris - Federal showdown • from page 1 claimed technical standards would be lowered, the Canadian dollar would rise and the country would give up its energy ' and natural resources. Farmers need to rely on marketing boards to limit produc- tion and to keep prices up, he noted. With free trade those marketing boards may not be in place. "We sold out," was his concluding comment. During the question and answer period, Peter Damsma asked the candidates about the role of women in toddy's society and free trade. Mr. Clark replied, "The CHP believes one of the most important roles of women is in child rearing...the state was never meant to be a parent." He was for freer trade, although the free trade deal could use some changes. The other three candidates supported the role of women in today's society and their continued and growing involvement with government. Mr. Cardiff supported his party's free trade deal with the Liberals and NDP against it. Mr. McQuail added that the price is too high to pay for profit through free trade. He cited the ex- ample of exploitation of workers in Mexico and the southern United States. On the question of Canada spending $12 billion to buy nuclear submarines, the nuclear and military issues, Mr. McQuail said the NDP is against the purchase. He stated his party is against continued nuclear involvement (i.e. unarmed cruise misile testing in Alberta),. he felt conven- tional submarines are sufficient and Canada should redeploy their land forces. He added, the government should develop a program to transfer military developments to civilian production. However, he did not mention Canada's in- volvement in NATO and NORAD. Mr. Dunlop said he didn't see the necessity of spending for nuclear sub- marines but the defence of Canada's shorelines are important. The Liberals are against the testing of a weapon that could carry nuclear arms. The CHP believes in a strong defence for Canada. Mr. Cardiff pointed out that conven- tional submarines are not practical for the Arctic Ocean because they have to resur- face to recharge their batteries. He said tian Heritage Party; Liberal Ken Dunlop; moderator Chris Palmer; Tony McQuail of the NDP; and Conservative candidate Murray Cardiff.

The country has to carry out its commitment to NORAD and NATO. He added Canada may not have to continue its weapons testing when the NORAD contract is reviewed. On the environment Mr. Dunlop said, "We (Liberal government) ignored the en- vironment, each one of you ignored the en- vironment in the past. We are waking up to that." He added the previous Liberal govern- ment supported no lead gasoline and public transit. Mr. McQuail stated the need for more recycling, Mr. Cardiff and Mr. Clark said there should be stronger environmental policies. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association was representated at the meeting by some of its members and the director, Phil Warner. He asked Mr. Cardiff if Canada's 5,221 rural post offices would be closed and he wanted written assurance of no office closings in Huron - Bruce. Mr. Cardiff gave him no commit- ment saying, "Are you people prepared to pay the price to keep the post offices open?" He noted that there are some post offices in the riding which are a mile away from each other. He felt private enterprise could take over. Mr. Clark supported the privatization of the post office while the Liberals and the NDP would keep the rural offices open. In his concluding remarks, Mr. Dunlop said free trade is the single biggest issue. The sacrifices are too great for the en- vironment, social programs and natural resources. "1 believe in this country, I believe the free trade deal we signed is bad for this country," he stated. Mr. Clark said his party is promoting Christian principals in government. He apologized for not getting into the CHP farm policies. Mr. Cardiff stated he has supported this riding since 1980 and he would like to con- tinue to do so. He defended the Conser- vative free trade deal by saying, "I could never support anything that would be a detriment to the riding of Huron -Bruce." Tony McQuail concluded the evening saying Brian Mulroney and John Turner are just the same, the NDP are for or- dinary people.
