TERRACE — Maurie Mont-
gomery threw her hat in the ring
for the Tory nomination last
Thursday and quickly took a
couple of swings at ihe Reform
Party,
The Smithers resident and
regional coordinator for the min-
istry of women’s equality says
‘the. _Progressive Conservatives
- femain-the only national party

.° .eapable of fiscal responsibility

and careful’ management of the
“economy.
_. 'Reform would like to just stop
paying for a whole bunch of
things that I consider to be impor-
tant,"’ Montgomery said. ‘‘What
are they going to do? Cut spend-
‘ing? Cut programs? How?’

“T don’t think the Reform
people have a cluc.”’
, Montgomery predicts the race
‘in: Skecna will be between the
‘NDF candidate and the Conserva-
tive candidate,
- /That’s the history of ‘the
riding. I don’t think that’s going
to. change whether there’s a
Reform candidate or not.’?

offer the region better representa-
tion than it has received under sit-
ting MP Jim Fulton.

ve been all over the riding
and ] have an understanding of
what the issues are,’’ she said, ‘'E
care about the people that I’ve
met in thase communities. They
deserve to be © effectively.
represented.”

Montgomery pegs economic
development, the North American
Free Trade Agreemeiit, and’ na-
tive land claims as being among
the top issues in this area.

‘The instability of the land
claims situation has an effect on
Terrace,”’ she said. ‘‘People are
less likely to invest here because
they don’t know what’s going to

happen.”

Montgomery would also seek
increased trade with Alaska,

She made her announcement
Thursday moming —- the same
day Brian Mulroney resigned as
the Conservative leader.

‘We had everything arranged
to do it today,’’ Montgomery
said, adding she decided to go
ahead with ber announcement
anyway.

“T had already decided to run
no matter who was the leader.”

Montgomery said she feels
mixed emotions about the demise
of the prime minister,

She called him a “‘great leader’
but said the party will do better
without him at the helm.

Montgomery isn’t yet throwing
her support to any particular
leadership hopeful.

“T want to hear what they have
to say and what their vision of
Canada i is.’

Montgomery got her start as a

teenager licking envelopes for a
Democratic senate candidate in
the U.S., where her family once
lived.

She campaigned for the Tories
10 years ago in Courtenay and
again in 1988 for Ray Halvorson,
