Six parties were repre- sented: the Liberals, Marxist/Leninists, the National Party. New Democrats, the Progressive Conservatives and Reform. The parties spoke of the need for job creation and job training as the means of pulling Canada out of its current econom- ic crisis. A question peri- od followed. The few Humber stu- dents who attended were interested in issues affect- ing their education and job prospects. PC candi- date Jane MacLaren was asked about transfer pay- ments to the province for student grants and loans. MacLaren said she is "appalled" by present cut- backs to transfer pay- ments and the Conservatives have made a commitment to main- taining the present system as a basic minimum for the future. "I would look at ways, if at all possible given the deficit situation, to rein- state some of those trans- fer payments," she said. The NDP candidate Carmella Sasso also responded to the question.
