just never ap- rw pealed to me although the show did go on ontario riding frank mcgee conservative frank mcgee is aware that a mps first responsibility is to the people who elect him their problems- large or small will be his first concern as our man at ottawa frank mcgee is an experienced house of commons man as mp for neighbor ing yorkscarboro for six years he knows the growing pains and needs of a riding like ours frank mcgee understands the ways of government knows the ropes for getting things done for his riding and his constituents problemsolving has always been a mcgee specialty frank mcgees career as a columnist a tv commentator and political analyst has kept him closely in touch with the policies and problems of our federal scene he has the background to help find the answers we need frank mcgee has a voice that will be heard at the topmost levels of parliament his cabinet background his position in the conservative party assure that ontario ridings needs will be fully understood and acted on s a 1181553 the stanfield airport alternative on october 13th in ajax robert stanfield laid it on the line here are his words there has been both misunderstanding and misinterpretation of my october 2nd airport statement let me restate it so there can be no confusion about my position on the basis of the information i now have as leader of the opposition there is no need for a 2nd airport at pickering or anywhere else in the toronto area unless i am confronted by undeniabe evidence to the contrary that project will be scrapped by the government i intend tc lead after october 30th i would seo that justice is done to those who are already involved in federal expropriation procedures my government would cooperate with the government of ontario to ensure that planned meaningful development goes forward in the region industrial development plans will fully take account of the necessity of safeguarding the ecological environment and pre serving quality of life premier davis confirmed his commitment to this joint action when he was in this area with frank mcgee last week i confirm my commitment to you now frank mcgee welcomed and endorsed his leaders stand here are his words- liberal bungling on the airport issue has unwittingly provided ontario riding with a unique opportunity to develop and prosper without suffering from the devastating side effects of a mojor airport a stanfield government will grasp this opportunity our objective will be to acquire land from those who wish to sell in theair- port area and to leave undisturbed those who wish to stay in their homes and on their land the airport site will become a greenbeltconservation open country side farming and recreation area but a stanfield government cannot and will not offer comfort or solace to those who have speculated in land adjacent to the airport site they have gambled and lost what really excites me is the prospect of substantial properly planned in dustrial development which will give us the economic shot in the arm we have needed or so long this development will be focused primarily in south pickering ajax whitby and oshawa the stanfield davis commitment to this end will usher in a challenging new eraofprosperityforontario riding t mm i- wm i a j 1 wmtmummbmmtbmlwim h mmmmimhmi
