Which of your competitors do you expect to pose the biggest challenge to your candidacy? Why? I am faceing ( sp ) an incumbent and that is often thought to be an advantage. What makes you the most desirable of all candidates running in the riding? As I said above I beleive ( sp ) that my municipal experience will give me considerable insight into the needs of Brant and my interaction with other levels of government while a city councillor will be most helpful in understanding how governmnent works, so I will be able to get down to work right away. What do you feel are the three most important issues to voters in your riding? Are these the same top three issues that are most important to you? What would you do to address these issues? The three most important local issues are: The growing lack of respect for the law and increasing local crime rate. The PC platform is clear that everyone must obey the law; that there must be tougher penalties for those who break the law and more resources are needed to increase the number of police. The number of people who do not have a family doctor. While this is a complex issue, we will increase the number of places in medical schools, speed up the accreditation of suitablbly trained foreign doctors and provide sufficient funding for the health care system and still eliminate the so callled Liberal healthtax that is not all being spent on health. Job loss. We have lost alarge number of manufacturing jobs lately, as inded (sp) has the whole province. A PC government will take those steps to create a productive economy by revieiwing the tax system to see that we are competitive. We will invest in education to see that we have the best work force available.We will stimulate business investment in machinery and equipment as well as the latest technology. We believe that are policies will help people to find and to keep jobs.
