said Friday. “I like to make a
point of personally keeping in
touch with. the people of my
riding as often as possible.”

Howard, 45, spent several
days on the Queen Charlotte's in
early December. In mid-
November he was attending
meetings in Wisteria and
‘Houston. In between, he
managed to take part in House
of Commons debates in Ottawa.

‘‘NEW BLOOD’

Howard quickly admitted the
party needed “new blood” at
the top and he wouldn’t say yes
or no to whether he intended to
supply it,

Also adding to odds in favor of
Howard taking a crack at the
NDP helm, was his criticism
that the four runners primed for
the race are from Ontario and
were out of touch with what is
going on in the rest of Canada,
particularly the booming north.

“The leadership needs a man
who is in close touch with both
rural and urban problems,”
Howard said.

CLOSE TOUCH
‘The MP admitted he kept in
close contact with his Skeena
riding, considered rural,
although industrialized as an
MP has set up housekeeping in
