Gori says the FCP often ignored by the big media By KAREN SMITH The Champion Halton Family Coalition Party (FCP) members gave Giuseppe Gori the nod once again to represent them in the next provincial election. The only local FCP candidate seeking the nomination, Mr. Gori of Acton was acclaimed during a meeting at the Milton Optimist Centre April 15. About 15 members attended the event to choose a candidate in the new Halton riding. Mr. Gori said among many issues, the party is looking to reform education, ensure life from conception to natural death and reduce the GST over fours years until the tax is eliminated. He said the party also aims to remove regional govemment to pare down bureaucracy. "The other parties have short-term vision," he said. "We have long-tern vision." Another bone of contention, Mr. Gori said, is the role of the major media in elections. He complained that smaller parties such as his don't receive equal coverage compared to the three main parties, and that goes against democracy. "There are 11 registered parties in Ontario. The FCP is the fourth largest, potentially representing the views of 30 to 40 per cent of Ontarians," he said. "However, after 11 years and running over 50 candidates in the Gluseppe Gori last two elections, many people do not even know that we exist." A computer consultant, Mr. Gori was first elected to run for the party locally in 1990. An election has yet to be called by the provincial Tories, but an announcement is expected soon.

Mr. Hogan said the ICFC is equally eager for the report on the investigation to Main St. Milton come to light. "We are anxious to bring it to a conclu- sion from an investor client point of view," he said. Once the report is in, the ICFC may con- sider launching a civil suit against Mr. Bourgon, said Mr. Hogan. A civil suit would be means to recover missing money, should there be any. Since the start of the investigation, Mr. Bourgon's accounts have been reassigned to other financial advisors. The ICFC has been in touch with clients concerned about the drawn-out investiga- tion, said Mr. Hogan. "People in Milton have been patient and very understanding," he said. In February, it was thought that a report would take as little as two weeks to a month to come in.
