"in 1984 alone, we creatad 55 par cent of the new jobs creatad in the enira country. Now that is not just a temporary phenomanon, but solid growth. And something to be proud of." And while unem- ployment is still too hîgh "Ontario continues to have one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada," Ashe said in a written statement, Town Council, William Hay, project chairman for the Lions Club said that the toîl will ba held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 1 at the intersec- tion of Brock and Dun- das Sts.

"And that includes our youth. " And the government's key program in reducing unem- ploymant even further is the recently announ- ced Entreprise Ontario program that will see $1,3 billion injected in four key sectors of the provincial economy over the next thre years. "Entreprise Ontario will mrate new jobs, secura employmeflt, strengthen the aconomic ý..imate and improve opportunities for the people of this great province," Ashe said, who added that his government is not "just throwing money at problams at the tax- payers' expense." The incumbant,i who also serves as Minister of Energy in Premier Frank Miller's gover- nment, points out that Ilour spending par capita in this province is second to none in Canada. "Our number of public servants par capita is the lowest in Canada, too," ha added, -Wa are not 'top-heavy' with public servants feeding at the public trough. " This, he believes, "is efficient government in action." Ashe, who has been Durham West MPP sin- ce 1977, also points out that ail of Ontario's debt is approximately éi4ual to its annual revenue. "How many people can say their total debts - inluding mortgages - total their approximnate annual income,"' he said. "Ontario can say that." nment only devotes about 12 per cent of its budget on intarest payments on public debt. "The fruits of good government are al around you," Ashe balieves,- "Ontario has one of the best, if not the in the world. You need not live in terror of a medical emergency that will wipe out your savings, as so many to t.he south of our border do."t And that is why Ashe says his party's cam- paign thame is "Ontario is strong and it's getting stronger," he said. "And if anyone - such as iny opponents in this provincial election campaigfl - tries to tell you different, they just haven't done their homnework."
