"The media will cover it and report it te the people of Ontario and that's where the communica- tion will take place," said Mr. Chudleigh, who's parliamentary assistant to, Ontario's Finance Minister Janet Ecker. Ms Ecker will present ber budget March 27 via satellite television and across the Intemet at a yet-to- be-decided gathering instead of tra- ditionally standing up and speaking in the Legislature, a controversial move that has ruffled Liberal Opposition feathers. The Legislature was supposed to begin its spring session yesterday, but instead will reconvene April 30 with a Throne Speech, which will lay out the govemments policy plans. MPPs haven't met since December 13. Mr. Chudleigh said no location has been chosen yet to deliver the budget, but noted Ms Ecker's rid- ing is Oshawa and Mr. Eves' is Orangeville. Mr. Chudleigh said he'll put in a request to have the budget released in Milton. Liberal 's long-serving MPP Sean Conway, representing Renfrew- Nipissing-Pembroke, said a budget can only be a legal document when it's presented into the Legisîsture by the minister of finance. What Mr. Eves plans to do is nothing more than a "Tory pre-election infomerical," he said. Mr. Conway alto said it isn't fair to have taxpayers pay for the T'V and Intemnet book-ups to bring the budget announcement into homes and businesses across the province. . 5ee BUDGET on page 14 TOWN 0F MILTON Corporate Services Departmnent Programmer/Analyst (1 year Contract) PositonSuosmary The Corporate Services Department requires an individual to fil the contract position of Programmer/Analyst.
