ues to grow as, an
instrument to be used
to ,access information. We
have the 1.-900 numbers,

legal needs, as an example.

The latest information to
come across my desk,
whereby we citizens can
expand our knowledgf,. in a
very important area, is a toll
free number established by
the ` Heart and Stroke
Foundation of Ontario:
Being of an inquisitive
nature, I 'wonder'ed if the
number put you in touch
with areal person, or if it
was necessary to havea
touch phone to punch 51 the
area of interest. So 1 let my
lingers dothe work and was
pleasantly greeted by a'°real°
personwith a very friendly
voice.
The voice at the other
end of the phone explained
that the Healthline number
has been in place for about
a month now. They were
receiving a. lot of calls, , and
expect to be even busier
during February - Heart
Montle. She explained, as au
example, that if. 1 had a
question on angina, she
could. (a) give me some
information over the phone,
and (b) nail me a fact sheet
that .would have full infor-
oration on that subject,.
It's a totally interesting
concept - preventative med-
icine by phone.

statement of Murphy to the
Dear Barb: board.
During your campaign There are several reasons
• for MPP, you made several why you should take this
election promises about the action. Active participation
way in which you . intended of employee representatives
to represent the interests of has long been viewed as a
the part of your constituen- sound business approach by
cy comprised of the Bruce many progressive comps-.
Nuclear Power nies. The Progressive
Development and its Conservatives, who are
employees publicly business -oriented,
You made it clear that the..
needs of your constituents
is would " supersede your.
alliance to any political
party, if a conflict were to
develop. This included
strong, continuing support
for the nuclear program
which represents a signifi-
cant part of your riding's •
economic well being.

announcement to terminate

should be very supportive
of the continuation of; a .
PWU representative :fin
Hydro's Board.. •
Murphy has been and.
will continue to be a strong
supporter of the nuclear
program at Ontario Hydro
and nationally. His voice is
required on the Hydro's
board of directors to ensure
nuclear issues are accurate-
ly portrayed and appropri-
• ately decided. This includes
the future of Bruce Heavy
Water Plant, possible
options for Bruce A, the
Mixed Oxide Fuel program
(MOX) and ITER, (fusion
plant), all issues that could
have, a drarnatiodramatic impact on
the future economic viabili-
ty of the communities in
your riding.
Removing Murphy from
the board has minimized the
effectiveness we had in
making sure these issues
received proper attention,
During your pre-election
statements you spoke clear-
ly
learly and strongly in support of •
collective bargaining and
the right to strike. You are
likely aware that Mr.
Farlinger,;: tydro's , new4:'.
cha Tian, has requested the
removal of the PWUJ's right

a total lack of respect for
employees in his comments
about our upcoming negoti-

to be balanced with some-
one who can explain the
PWU's position, particularly
at the Board of. Director
level, to promote positive.
relations overall. With
