Qeen'sP~; I would like to take this opportunity-to highlight for you 501110 of .the,:maiii points -in-the Governiment's prograni, as outlined the Speech. from the Throne. As wag stated by the Honourable Pauline McGibbon, Lieutenant -Governer for Ontario, on February l4tli, tlinost.cruial chilenges we face today are of an economic nature. It is essential that our economy be healthy so thait the Govemnment can c,6'ptinue to provide, and improve uponý, the many servces that are necessary for the weel-being of our citizons.- One of the central messages, of the Speech was that the Ontario Government does fot believe in massive public spending to cure economie difficulties. In fact, it ik our view that we must continue' to restrain governnient spending in order to encourage .the private Sector to grow and compete. Obviously, the, private sector cannot carry the total burden of job création. On the basis of the highly succe y fuI youth employmetit progratns launched last year, a to of $26 million will be provided to Wnarge bôth the Ontai Career Action Program and the Ontario Youth Emnployrne program; Wjich thie Ontario Governinent estimates m prqduce 36;DO jobs. ~- I.ast Fafl, -lhe Government lattnched a labour markèt formation program des*igned to àsÈlst. thé private sectoi' nlatching jobs with people. To ensure the continued efft tiveness of this 'program'n the Minister,of Labour planîs -çonvene a conference with representatives from labour, bu and college and university staff, as well as, fedéral ai -provincial bfflcials. SThe Provincial Govemment support the fédéral decisi, that the Ecônom'ic Coun'cil- of 'Canada shôuld'p1ay a1ce'y re i analyzing price and cost developmrentg following thte eî of, wage anxd price controls; and' the Province wil alsô--l setting fair and firm guidelines with respect to public sect spending Vie are determined to keep the increase in ouro, spendipg Well, below the- increase in revenue.

First, tfiê 'eccnm is of pd-iii4ry imporiaice for the sôlution of most of the ptoblems that face us today. . A hoalthy society -mlust be bullt- on a healthy'-economy. And second, restraint is required of us ail, but the Government of Ontario believes that ail government must lead the way by setting a good that ail governments must leadthe way -by. settig a good example. - --- However, I càftnot stres'~ too - trongly that the realities we face today require changing attitudes by. the public at large, as weil as by govemrment.

This does -not ffieàn that progress will be halted,because the Provincial Government is totally comimitted to improving the quality of life for theý citizens of Ontario. I hope that in explaining the importance placed on the strengthening of the econoiny, e 1veryone will realize that many-of'-the thjingswo often,?,take, for granted ýare really dependent upon good management of oui reSourc0s. *Theè anniual esCape is about .to begin.
