Gi federal election

A117 - Friday, August 31, 1984 - North Shore News

Conservative Cook

kept on defensive

From page A15

tarian candidate Bill Tomlin-
son substituted for his par-
ty’s North Vancouver-Bur-
naby candidate, John
Clarke.

The meeting, which drew
almost 400 people, focussed
on women’s issues, with
each of the nine candidates
being polled on _ various
points. Several of the minor
candidates drew applause for
their various stands,
however, the majority of the
night’s questions were
directed at the candidates for
the three major parties.

Liberal candidate lona
Campagnolo said Prime
Minister Turner has already
Stated equal pay for work of

equal value ‘‘would be the
rule, not the exception,”
with all companies doing
business with the federal
government expected to
adhere to this rule.

However, she added that
since federal contracts only
cover 10 per cent of women
in the work force, that there
must be negotiation with the
provinces to bring about
changes in the private and
provincial sector which af-
fects 90 per cent of working
women.

Cook told the crowd he
was not in favor of ‘‘total,
free abortion,’’ but said he
would also not vote for the
pro-life movement. He call-
ed for a strengthening of
abortion committees, saying,
““Some are nothing more

than rubber stamps.’’ He
added he would not be in
favor of refusing abortions
to rape or incest victims or
to mothers whose lives were
in danger.

Schreck said the NDP was
committed to expanding the
Canada Pension Plan to in-
clude pensions for home-
makers. However, he said
since entitlement under the
CPP depends on the number
of years spent contributing
to the plan, it will be neces-
sary to change the rules of
the Guaranteed Income
Supplement and the Old Age
Security in order to solve the
immediate problems of
homemakers who have not
spent years in the workforce.

He added it would also be
necessary to expand the CPP

NORTH SHORE WILL HAVE TO WAIT

Computer delays channels

THE INTRODUCTION of
a package of specialized
television channels for North
Shore cable subsribers is be-
ing delayed while Shaw
Calesystems gets a new com-
puter working.

While other cable systems
in the Lower Mainland have
announced the availability of
such services as all-sports
and all-music channels,
Shaw is postponing in-
troduction of the services until
its new computer system is
operating smoothly.

The new computer system
is for internal company use
and, says Shaw _ vice-presi-
dent Ken Fowler, the com-
pany wants to ensure it 1s
working well before laun-
ching the new programs.

Fowler said he anticipates
an announcement, on which
channels will be made
available, and when, will be
made in mid-September.

In their opening remarks,
Campagnolo and Cook
engaged in a battle of figures
regarding high profile female
politicians in their respective
parties.

Cook listed several promi-
nent women in the Conser-
vative Party and then at-
tacked the Liberal Party for
‘‘only having one elected
high profile president.
That’s it.’’

Campagnolo refuted
Cook’s figures and ran off a
long list of Liberal female
political and party members
to a loud round of applause.
