Ms. Bolton outlined the major issues she will be focussing on in this campaign at a news conference held at her home Friday. She listed "five major challenges we Canadians can face" as the most important issues. She said she will be speaking forcefully for new opportunities for a better future, in these five areas: That Canadians can have a job, can participate in a fair tax system, can receive high quality public services, that women can -receive equality, and that there is peace and nuclear disarmament. The issue of job opportunities, she said, "must be our government's first. priority...It's the work that we do that gives our lives meaning and plrpose." She added that the issue of jobs is_thost pressing for young people. The question isn't getting work for people but how to pay them, Ms. Bolton said. Most people can find work to keep themselves busy, but "we are in' danger of creating a society of paid elite." She said the NDP recognizes the future impact of high technology as it increases productivity and profits while taking away jobs. The NDP really cares about this, she said, and advocates policies such as work - sharing, shorter work weeks, and opportunities for earlier retirement. Women's issues will be another important part of Ms. Bolton's campaign: She cited statistics which she says show women do not now have a chance for economic equality. For example, ,the average income of a working woman is half that of a working man; 60 per cent of Canada's poor are women, mostly older and single parents; and women and men who work in the home have no economic rights. Ms. Bolton supports the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. She said she also wants to make child care accessible and affordable, to have more free services available to women, such as health and other special services for the needs of rural women. She ' also supports the principle of affirmative action quotas, calling for equal numbers of men and women in higher levels of responsbility usually dominated by men. "It's only the NDP that has really,given this example," she said. She referred to an NDP resolution passed at their conference last year which called for women to take an equal share of management of the Party. Ms. Bolton also outlined the NDP policies on nuclear disarmament which made up another part of her campaign speech. She ' addressed the "despair and hopelessness we feel about the threat of nuclear war." ' ' New Democrats, she said, want Canada to act as a strong force for peace. Canada's peace advocacy must be matched by peace action. The NDP supports making Canada a nuclear weapons -free zone. They also support a no first -use pled -gam, a comprehensive ban on nuclear weapons, and an end to nuclear missile testing in Canada. On the Issue of taxes, Ms. Bolton said the tax system is unfair toward individuals and small businesses and to the benefit of corporations. She said the NDP raises campaign funds strictly from individuals and individuals through labour unions, and does not accept the contributions from large corporations which fund much of the Liberal and Conservative campaigns. "That reflects who we'll be' responsible to if elected." She said the NDP will make tax breaks to corporations only on the condition that they provide programs of job creation, worker retraining, andother employee services. Public services is the other issue in Ms. Bolton's list of five major issues. She listed NDP goals of establishing pensions for all Canadians as a right, new health care initiatives, financial aid to part-time students, most of whom are women, ensured clean-up of toxic waste sites, environmental impact studies, and investigations into pesticide use. "The NDFP has been a voice for these services," she said. All thse issues are as important on the national level as on the local level here in Huron Bruce, said Ms. Bolton. The economy is a prime concern for farmers, and she said it is necessary to stablilize low interest rates and to prevent them from rising. "We need to provide farmers and small businesses with access to low cost loans." • Jobs is also the major issue for Huron Bruce,, she said, and pointed out in particular the opportunity to maintain jobs on the family farm. Although farmers,are not the only people in the riding, the return and wealth on farms is related to the health 'of the whole community. Ms. Bolton said she chose to run as a candidate for the NDP because she felt that Party combinded strong policies with creative ideas and strong leadership. "The NDP will create opportunities for ordinary men and women," she said, including opportunities for job equality, equality for women and for peace and nuclear disarmament. Her major goal in this election is to get people to participate in the political process. Politics,- she said, "means our chance to have a voice," especially in issues which directly affect the public. Not being interested in politics means not being interested in democracy, or the future, she said, and "when people say they are not interested m politics, that's what I hear them saying." Ms: Bolton, 32, lives on a farm in East Wawanosh Township with her husband, Dean Walker, and two daugthers, Monica and Amber. She is a project director for Women Today, and has organized a number of workshops and seminars in the area. Born in Vancouver, she studied sociology and psychology at Simon Fraser University. She moved to Ontario in 1974. She became invovlved in politics in the 1979 election and joined the NDP then. In the last federal election, she worked as campaign manager for NDP candidate Tony McQuail.
