The McGuinty government puts its record on the line as we vote in a provincial election later this year.
The Liberal MPP for Huron-Bruce Carol Mitchell says her party will be the clear choice on issues like health care, education and the economy.
Mitchell responds to Sarnia-Lambton Tory Bob Bailey whose party has launched a Website survey that asks voters about their most pressing concerns.
Mitchell says on-line surveys also put the Liberals in a favourable light.
Statistics Canada finds a positive response among Huron-Bruce residents who say their health care options have improved since the McGuinty government was first elected in 2003.
Mitchell tells us many more Huron-Bruce residents have a family doctor and the numbers are constantly increasing.
She points to gains in education which the Liberals will build on in 2011.
Mitchell notes the highest intake of children in the full-day kindergarten program in the past year was in rural areas of our province like Huron-Bruce.
She looks forward to the coming election campaign.
Mitchell points out that any election campaign really begins the day after the previous election and that this campaign is drawing interest because of the economy.
The pre-election rhetoric has been going on for some months now and Mitchell challenges the Progressive Conservatives on the cost of health care.
She wonders how the Tories will make a promised elimination of health premiums work considering the three-billion dollars that will be lost in the face of the sharply rising cost of health care.
The provincial election will be held on October 6th.
