Out of 10 questions fielded by Barney Danson (L), NDP can- didate Bruce Searle and PC candidate John Gamble during the live, one-hour program last Wednesday, eight callers ad- dressed themselves to Mr. Gamble. Only M127 Danson and Mr. Gamble attacked each other for Your community needs you . . i to drive. If you have a car and some lime to give, your help is needed by Family and (‘hildren‘s Services.

While the two discussed parliamentary procedure, Mr. Searle said they were skirting the issue with rhetoric. Mr. Gamble pointed out the bill didn‘t pass because of votes by one PC member and one Independent member of the house. “My feeling and those of the NDP party are that we shouldn‘t “I think it was some sort of conspiracy by the PCs to stop that bill from going through. All the parties in the house clearly wanted to give it unanimous consent but the Conservatives voted against it," said Mr. Danson. Aside from one frivo- lous caller who accused Mr. Danson of not spending enough time in his riding, the incumbent became irritated over Mr. Gamble‘s charge the Liberals had not really wanted unanimous consent of a bill which would have outlawed the Arab boycott. their stands or their respective party’s stand on specific issues.

Mr. Gamble backed the Clark proposal by saying it is something “sociologically needed" at a time when the housing industry is supposed to create 100,000 new construction jobs. It's not something just for the rich, he said, but something even the notâ€"so-rich would like to be able to take advantage of. After another caller wanted to know why he was greeted in French first when he called two Federal government agencies in Toronto, there was heated discussion about the Quebec statute Bill 101. Mr. Danson feels it is a small inconvenience to be greeted in French first‘ though he claimed that isn’t standard mlicx. deductibility scheme is open to abuse. Mr. Searle said the plan could eventually inflate taxes and induce buyers of homes “to go in over their heads." He mentioned the C. D.
