Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke candidates have their say Steve Newman steve.newman@metroland.com

News - Five of six RenfrewNipissing-Pembroke candidates showed up for the second of two all-candidates forums, and each had his moments. Differences of opinion surfaced when the three candidates who are expected to lead

the polls – Rod Boileau of the Liberal Party, Brian Dougherty of the New Democratic Party and Progressive Conservative incumbent John Yakabuski – sparred over the issues regarding job creation and hydro. The all-candidates event took place June 4 at Opeongo High School, following the May 27 one in Cobden.

Murray Reid of the Confederation of Regions surprised the audience by saying he opposed four-laning of Highway 17, but he also got the biggest laugh when he said expanding the highway would only allow businesses already in the county to leave faster. Green Party candidate Ben Wright admitted he was to-

tally green when it came to participating in all-candidates forums. But the 26-year-old calmly provided answers to written questions from the audience and the hosting Renfrew County chapters of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.

Wright’s most controversial statements, which met with no discernibly negative response from the crowd of about 100 people, concerned the Green Party’s plans to amalgamate the Catholic and public school boards. There’s no need to have Catholic schools, he said. See ALL-CANDIDATES, page 2
