MPP Ted Arnott Appointed to three Ontario P.C. Task Forces

Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott will serve on three key Ontario P.C. Policy Task Forces that will develop a plan of action to be implemented if the Conservatives are elected to govern the Province again in 2007.

Mr. Arnott is serving on the Task Forces for Economic Development, Education, and Health Care. Mr. Arnott and MPP Jim Flaherty will share the lead responsibility for the Task Force on Economic Development.

“I am very pleased to have the chance to serve on these Task Forces for our Party. This is an important step toward the development of the platform which we hope will lead to a P.C. victory in 2007,” Mr. Arnott said.

“The rest of the world isn’t standing still. We need to have a competitive and growing economy in Ontario to produce the prosperity, quality of life, jobs, and revenues that will enable us to strengthen Canada. Strong economic growth is the only way to ensure that we can afford top quality health care while also seeing to it that our students have the best education anywhere in the world,” he added.

Kitchener-Waterloo MPP Elizabeth Witmer has been appointed by P.C. Leader John Tory to head up the overall policy development process. “I am delighted to be working with John, Elizabeth and my other colleagues on these Task Forces,” Mr. Arnott said.

Mr. Arnott is inviting people who have ideas for Economic Development, Health Care and Education to contact him through his website at: www.tedarnottmpp.com or send an e-mail directly to: ted_arnott@ontla.ola.org to share their views with him.
