t \ Section Two 8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, October 30,1991 ■ For Your Information NDP Reforms Mean Staggering Job Losses Fair Logo Contest in '92 Permanent job losses will accelerate dramatically if the Ontario government proceeds with its proposed revisions to the Ontario Labour Relations Act, according to a survey of 300 chief executives in the business community. The survey was conducted last month by Ernst and Young for the All Business Coalition (ABC), a group of 42 business associations whose member companies collectively - represent represent the majority of the jobs in Ontario, and concludes that one in four jobs could disappear disappear forever. ABC spokesman, Stephen Van Houten, President of The Canadian Manufacturers' Association, Association, confirmed the business business community's deepening concerns over Ontario's rapidly rapidly deteriorating business climate. climate. "The survey shows that the economic and social needs of our'citizens will not be satisfied satisfied until business confidence is restored and the province sends out a signal that Ontario is open for business", he said. Among the survey's most important conclusions were: • 86% of Ontario firms surveyed surveyed expect that the adoption of the proposed labour legislation legislation would result in the loss of some or all of the jobs they currently provide in Ontario. • For the economy as a whole, this could mean that as many as 480,000 Ontario jobs arc threatened. • 90% of respondents said that the changes would affect their investment plans with the result that $20 billion in future investment, over the next five years, is in jeopardy if the government's government's proposed changes are enacted. • Nearly 80% of the firms surveyed believed that die proposed proposed changes would seriously weaken the ability of their operations operations to compete. • Furthermore, 70% of firms surveyed outside of Ontario Ontario indicated they would be less likely to invest in a jurisdiction jurisdiction which adopts these labour labour act changes. "More than 42 of our mem ber companies have closed their doors in the past year alone," said Neil DeKoker, President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, Association, whose members provide 380,000 direct and indirect jobs to Ontario workers. "Why isn't government out there looking for ways to help us lead the recovery rather than aggravating an already very difficult situation?" David Surplis, President of the Council of Ontario Construction Construction Associations, said anything that discourages investment investment harms construction employment. "Why would anyone anyone want to scare off investors - the lifeblood of the construction construction industry - when housing and construction project starts arc already dangerously low?" he said. Catherine Swift, Vice President President and Chief Economist of the Canadian Federation of Independent Independent Business, said the study is "nothing short of star tling in its prediction of massive massive job losses. The (study's), analysis supports related research research that we have conducted with our Ontario members in response to a groundswcll of concern among small business in the province," she said.

Twenty-two of these fires occurred in the Lindsay District. Only one fire was lightning caused. The remainder remainder were caused by people. Some of the fires were started by residents burning brush, campfires left burning and children children playing with matches.
