Election 97 campaign starts amid voter questions
Reform incumbent MP Hill faces questions about why the prime minister called an election now as Liberals hold a mandate up to five years. He promotes fixed election dates and notes the five week writ period suits some voters while challenging rural ridings with long travel. Hill opened offices in Fort St John and Prince George and has attended trade fairs.
