14 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, April 23, 1985 According to Durham York Liberal candidate Don Hadden -- mT be Aah Sah a i Liberal candidate Don Hadden, 49, has lived in Brock Township near Sunderiand all his life. He operates a large family-owned farm and has been a regional coun- cillor for Brock for the . past several yéars, This is the first time he has sought election at the provincial level. He received his party nomination by acclamation. As far as Mr. Hadden is concerned, the number one issue in this election 1s jobs, but more specifically how to deal with unemployment among the 18-25 year age group. He says one of the keys to improving employ- ment opportunities for this group is through bet- ter training in the educa- tional system. The apprentice system and the Community Col- leges need more money to make sure students are learning with the best and most up-to-date equipment, he says. ~ And he feels that government agencies should be providing chances for young people to get some working experience. He believes that im- proved training and work experience pro- grams must be a high priority, and these will require additional expenditures. LOCAL ISSUES While he says there is no single local issue in the riding of Durham- York during this election campaign, the develop- ment of tourism on both Lake Scugog and Lake Simcoe is crucial.

(The Task Force has just started examining the weed problem in this lake, and is due to make final recommendations in March, 1986). ABORTION "Personally, I have reservations about abor- tion on demand, especially as a method of birth control, from a health and moral point of view," he says about this emotionally charged issue. Mr. Hadden believes that free standing abor- tion clinics such as the one operated by Dr. Henry Morgentaler in Toronto, should not be allowed to stay open un- til the current appeal against Dr. Morgentaler is decided one way or another. He also says federal laws relating to abortion need to be reviewed to find a compromise bet- ween the extremes of no abortions and abortion on demand. BEER AND WINE Liberal leader David Peterson has stated in this campaign that his party would study very closely the sale of beer and wine in grocery and variety stores in Ontario. Mr. Hada.'n says this could help smaller stores, especially in rural areas of the province. He - describes the current beer store outlets owned by the breweries as a monopoly, and says opening up sales in other outlets is a question of mature enough.

People are mature enough to handle this," he says. THE CENSOR BOARD Mr. Hadden stopped short of calling for the abolition of the Censor Board in Ontario, but says that people should be intelligent enough to make their own choices about what films they see. However, he says that violence in "any form is offensive to me, personally." CATHOLIC SCHOOL FUNDING The Liberal Party has supported full funding to the Catholic School system in Ontario, and Mr. Hadden says he ac- cepts the logic in this. "The problem is how it will be implemented." He says there are still a lot of unanswered ques- tions on this issue such as tenure of teachers, the sharing of facilities and the timetable for implementation. These, he says, will re- quire more dialogue and long range planning. However, he says he ac- cepts the philosophical 5 Year Annual arguments and reasons for extending public fun- ding to grades 11, 12, 13 in the Catholic High Schools of Ontario. AGRICULTURE The improvement of farm income positions is the most pressing need facing ~ Ontario's agriculture community at this time, but Mr. Had- den says short-term band-aid approaches simply won't work. He feels more atten- tion must be paid to developing international markets for Ontario farm products, and the development of domestic strategies so that Ontario does not have to import as much food products. Changes in the struc- tures for marketing red meat are needed, he says, but quotas and full- fledged marketing boards are not the answer for this sector, he says. The present methods and system for selling cattlé has not changed very much in . 100 years, he states. Mr. Hadden agrees that agriculture in On- tario today is suffering 'more than at any time since the 1930's. wm 11% MEMBER CANADA DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORP family Trust APPLY TO DON FORDER INSURANCE BROKERS LTD. 30 WATER ST., PORT PERRY - 985-8471 RATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CERTIFICATES ~ - Annual Rates - 2 YEARS 3 YEARS 4 YEARS 5 YEARS 102% - - Monthly Rates - 2 YEARS 3 YEARS 4 YEARS As a municipal coun- cillor, Mr. Hadden says the gradual erosion oi transfer payments to municipalites "is a sore point with me,"' especial- ly in the area of health and welfare services. The shift is putting more of a burden on pro- perty tax payers, and ways must be found to alleviate this burden. He says as well the provincial share of education funding has dropped from 60 per cent just under 50 per cent over the past few years, and Liberal Party policy is to raise the funding level back to 60 per cent over five years. He acknowledges that raising the levels of transfers to school boards and municipalities will cost money and says overall tax reforms may be Education, re-training key to job creation necessary based on abili- ty to pay. He mentions the so-called flat tax, which was recently im- plemented = in Saskatchewan. STAR WARS Although the Star "Wars issue is not essen- tially one of provincial * responsibility, Mr. Had- den believes Canada should not get involved with the United States in development of the Strategic Defense Initiative. **Canada is an indepen- dent country and should try to stay that way. We should be standing up to both sides in the arms race and say 'stop,' " he says. Ontario should be pushing the federal government in any way it can to help reduce world tensions, he believes.
