bought by foreigners," he said, before tell-
ing Mr. Riddell that he took exception to a
story which appeared in the London Free
Press which quoted Mr. Riddell as saying
foreign land ownership was no longer a
problem.
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."

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

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.

letter from Colborne Council to town coun-

"It's nice to see the townships taking this

recreation)," said Councillor John
Stringer.
