Independent candidate Dennis Valenta was unable to attend due to work commitments. The meeting was chaired by HCFA president Stephen Thompson and moderated by members of the Clinton Toastmasters club, with each candidate giving an opening two -minute statement with the order determined by a previous draw. In his opening remarks, Lobb emphasized the job the minority Conservative government has done in the past two and half years with its tax cuts putting more money in the pockets of Canadians as well as replacing the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) program. McClinchey said that too often the rural voice isn't heard and promised that a Liberal government would appoint a rural affairs minister which he said would double the rural voice. He added that green enterprises must be fostered and failure to act would spell trouble for Canada. In his opening comments Joslin said McClinchey didn't want voters thinking about the Liberal Party and its leader Stephane Dion, who he said would ban guns and bring in a carbon tax that would make Canada less competitive. Joslin said the CHP would overhaul the tax system and replace it with a Fair Tax. McQuail said he wanted to talk to those in atten- dance about "agricultural cannibalism," and a "get big or get out system," that hurts farmers. He added an. NDP government would work to devel- op sustainable agriculture. Smith said the Green Party is truly Canada's envi- ronmental party and it would protect Canada's envi- ronment by developing new forms of energy and that it would pull out of Afghanistan by February 2009. Following the opening comments, the candidates took questions from the floor that were submitted to HCFA directors. In response to a question about how the parties would stimulate manufacturing, McClinchey said lay- offs at plants in the area such as Wescast and Volvo See VARIETY page 2 4 ever -ending compliments.
