As plans are being
implemented for the
Workfare program, Van
Loan feels the public is
in favor of the program.
While some municipali-
ties may not want to
implement Workfare, he
said, "every time we look
at numbers, between 70
and 80 per cent of the.
public want to see this.

"It only makes sense
that if people are benefit-

purse, that they should
also, be giving back' a lit-
tle bit to society."
While the . Tory gov-
ernment may be moving
in.: the right direction,
they have also been
accused ,,f _ making
changes a little fast. Van
Loan defended these
changes by explaining
that the province is $100
billion in debt, and even
at- the end of the govern-
ment's term, with all the
changes that are corning,
the .province will be $120
billion in debt. He
explained, "We're paying
interest on the debt at the
rate of $1 million an
hour...So when folks say
slow -down, I say to them
at $1 million hour, how
many hours do you want
to add?"
While the government
is currently enjoying
public support, he noted
that they must now begin
planning for the next
election. We've got a
long way to go; it is three
years to an election.
Things change dramati-
cally these days. We've
got to do a lot of devel-
opment of new policy to
determine where we go
in the next stage. There's
still a lot of work to be
done in the current phase,
but we have begun to
turn our attention quite
seriously to what the next
election will be about;
what policies we're
going to work on. Right
now, it's about undoing
the damage from the
past, and restoringsome
economic growth and
prosperity. Then it will
be about, after we've got-
ten through that correc-
tion period, what do we
do constructively; what is

the right robe for govern-
ment? How do we best
shape this society?"
Looking ahead to the
election, he said one of
the most important things
to remember is that this
is the first government in
his memory that is doing
what it said it will do.
While people might not
agree with the policies,
he.noted, they have to
respect them for living up
to their promises. He
noted that' when going
door to door in the next
election, he will be able
to say to people that the
party did do what they
said they would do. He
said he can tell voters,
"You know I am telling
you the truth and we'll
deliver. No other party
can tell you that."
Regarding the restruc-
turing of hospitals, which
is currently being studied
in Huron and Perth
Counties, he noted that
everybody agrees that
ways have to be found to
build in efficiencies if
health care is to be pro-
tected. "In terms of what
the government has actu-
ally done in . spending -
they made a commitment
to keep health care
spending at exactly the
level it was when we
came into government. It
would be an area that is
protected from the 20 per .
cent, reduction that every-
one else is getting. In
.fact, we've actually
increased spending by
$17.3 billion to start off
with, and -this year that is
going up to $17.7 billion.
So it is the one part of the
budget where we're see-
ing additional spending
take place." These extra
health dollars, he added,
are very targeted to deliv-
er new services that are
required.
