Reportfr Queen ' Park By iog dtMPP Durhsm Weil FIRST MINISTERS' CONFERkENCE The Province of Ontrio, and its people, have always had a strong commitment to Confederation . Ontario lias a long tradition of providing leadership in the national unity debate and it lias alw ays supported programs of industrial develop- ment 'and financial support for Canada's less -wealthy pro- vinces. Ontarlo has always recognized that a strong national economy is aý key, ingredient in the challenge to-Carwdian unity. This tradition lias-bcen caried out by the ten point, program outlined- by Premier William D)avis at the. recenft Federal-Provinical Conference ôf First Ministers in Ottawya.' The report that,-Premfier Davis , presented is designed 'to expand the privat e sector in Canada-,l-reate job's and ensure growth, with minimum outlay. of government funlds. laIn brief, the ten points are as follows: 1 . "Make a job-By Canadian":, -encourage Canadian consuniers to- buy Canadian-produced goods, w hen quality and pric e' are comparable, and to encourage Canadian industriesand governiments to do the same'. (Benefit - 170,000 jobs) 2. Job creatiorn for youth: a federal, youth employment program, ;which would use sorte of the 1.3 billion dollars that'now go1 into"UIC paYments to youth. (Benefit - 100,000 jobs) 3. Innovation i Cânadian industry: federal and provincial governments should allow ýa complete tax write-off to companies. that add more jobs in research andt develop- ment. (Benefit - 10,000 jobs) 4. Accelerated investment ini energy projects: remnove the obstacles that are presently slowing -down investment in the energy sector, in order to allow for the expansion of the energy inclustry. (B3enefit - 741,000 man years of work) 5. Automotive industry development: * eliminate the one' billion dollar deficit ini the' automotive industry by f irst of ail securing a fair share of the $50 billion for new in- vestments planned by the automobile manlifacturers: and secondly tlirough planned research and development. (Benefit - 32,500 jobs) 6. Improved r afilfacilities: speed up the current program to modernize rail transportation. A major objective should be 'a high-speed' passenger service between Quebec City and Windsor.' (Benefit - I ,200 jobs) 7Investment i the fishing industry: modernize, and ex- pand Canada's fishing fleets through prvate ,sector invest-,- men t, so- fhat Caànadýians canbttrcmpete 'with foreign trawler's.. (Benefît - stabiization -of 15,000 shipyard jobs.) 8. ,Exyanded slip'buildinR facilities: expansion, of fresh- water shipbpilding and. slip repair facilities to meet the, increasing demand for large freigliters. Large'-scale dry dock facilities are 'required. on the Upper Great Lâkes. 9. Reduce MdI tape for btsiness: red tape affecting private, buûsiness must be cut by-'al levels of government. 1 OProvide a more effeçtive Manpower services:, manpower and job-creation programrs must be coordinated amôngý governmentsto make themn more efficient. Along with this ten point programn, Premier Davis also suggested the creation of a National. Council on the Economy, to act as a watdhdog' on Canada's economic per- formance and future possibilities. It is suggested that this Council be composed of federal and, provincial' finance ministers, along with business and labour representatives. The, leadership shown by Premier Davis in aIl of these recommendations reaffirms Ontario's commitment to Con- federation. Canada and its provinces must work together to overcome our nation's economic problems and assure'our national survival. BROCK THEATRE 668-3618 CHULDREN'S MATUNE SAT. 1:30 P.M.
