Mr. Riddell said this type of land owner- ship has dropped. to less than, one per cent. "The real flurry has dropped off because we closed the loop hole in the taxes which foreign owners would pay. "We're monitor- ing the situation and will stop it if it gets out of hand," said Mr. Riddell. However, he says those selling the land are receiving a good dollar for it. Mr. Klopps spoke to the question as well, stating, "It has improved but the bottom line is we have to set up a policy that says we want people to farm the land. He used policy which is implemented in Saskatchewan as an example. "In Saskatchewan, if you don't want to come here and farm it, you can't buy more than 10 acres and that goes for corporations as well." The next question asked each candidate if they would support greater industrialization of Huron County. was asked of Mr. Peters how he justifies Mr. Riddell was the first to speak to this free.trade as supported by the PC party. He saying we need something to keep the young said he didn't support the liberal meaning of people here, but we should choose industries free trade, but felt it should be called freer which are compatible with agriculture so we trade or negotiated trade. He said rules do not damage our present crops. needed to be put in place so everyone Mr. Peters said 80 per cent of farmers understands where they stood. hold off farm jobs and was also in favor of Elementary School Funding more economic development.

It's time we treated believe we should have French and English in Ontario. It won't hurt anyone." agriculture as a business." OMAF Offfice Mr. Riddell was in favor of bilingualism, The Clinton OMAF office was the focus of saying it would "bring people together as the next topic of conversation, with the one happy family." asker wondering if the candidate's party would get the "ball rolling on a new and big- Town wants to ger" office. Mr. Klopp saidltere was a 1.4 per cent in- crease for the new OMAF office about three . years ago but the money never got through. - "That doesn't sit well with me," he said.,,.. Mr. Peters std he can't see a need for .a larger offi.'de. ' " " " a "I don't think the OMAF office is as small as we think it is. When there are meetings there,' it is full, but that's because there's a good six size crowd... I can't see a need for it." FEATURE REPORT Mr. Riddell told the crowd there is going to be a new OMAF office in Clinton, and believes tenders have gone out on property already. "There will be a new OMAF office in Clin- ton and it will be here in the near future," he said. Low Income Housing On the topic of low income housing, or sub- sidized housing, Mr. Riddell and Mr. Klopp were in favor of it and Mr. Peters was against it. "It's a priority with Mr. Peterson and the Liberal government," said Mr. Riddell. "We should push that the government in- crease spending overall," said Mr. Klopp. Mr. Peters said, "We should create new wealth, not redistribute it..." Free Trade On the subject of free trade, the question The Adminstration and Personnel Com- mittee will be considering a method of • recognizing the contribution of neighbor- ing townships to recreational organiza- tions in the Town of Goderich. • Colborne Township Council was con- - sidering a donation to the Goderich Figure Skating Club at a recent meeting, but tabl- sed the matter to their next meeting in order to determine how such a donation di:;minate One man in the audience disagreed. "Why isn't Quebec bilingual'?" he asked; going on to say he has received documents from Quebec with not one. single word in English. Mr. Riddell said changes are being made in Quebec as they are now more willing to talk to those struggling with their French, in English. Highway 8 Expansion The next questionfocused on the Highway 8 expansion, with the asker wondering if it would open the door for a chemical waste site in Huron County. Mr. Riddell felt confident this wouldn't happen. "No, it won't open doors for chemical waste sites. The site has already more or less been selected although they still have to go through the process." He did admit that Huron was being con- sidered for the site earlier, but not any more. "What we do need is a better transporta- tion route to have industry located here," he concluded. Mr. Klopp took the expansion, which is proposed as passing lanes where needed, to mean a four lane highway. "I don't think we need a four lane highway, we're a rural community, he said. "But there is a difference between four lanes and upgrading. Mr. Peters, like Mr. Riddell, was in favor of the expansion as said Highways 8 and 4 are vital links to Huron County, moving raw products in andfinished products out. "But no money and no dates have been set, yet they (Liberals) said it was a priori- ty..." said Mr. Peters. The final question of the night was about the $1 -billion debt. Since approximately $1 -billion was generated, and considered ex- tra money, why wasn't it used to wipe out the debt? The asker put two stipulations on Mr. Rid - dell's answer. He said, "Don't blame it on the NDP because you didn't give them any credit, and don't blame it on' the PCs because you've had, two years." Mr: Riddell said, "This is the first time the debt has been below $1 -billion. • "We inherited some problems, the health . care system was sliding•, the Young Of- fenders Act was given to us and we had to improve the health and safety standards in the industries, and how do you do that? Put in more inspectors. "There was a long time need to spend money, and at the same time, we reduced the debt," concluded Mr. Riddell. The meeting, chaired by Brenda McIn- tosh, was sponsored 'by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. • recognize could be made with assurance the dona- tion is received by that organization and yet receive recogniton from the Town of Goderich as support to the town's recrea- tional program from the Township," said a letter from Colborne Council to town coun- cil at their Aug. 17 meeting. . "It's nice to see the townships taking this kind of .attitude' (toward's contributions to recreation)," said Councillor John Stringer. NISSAN ANNOUNCES HONEST BRIBE.
