This is absolutely untrue. When the unemployment insurance fund began to dwindle, the government thought it advisable -- and so did opposition parties -- to institute an independent study of its operations. A Commission was set up and it duly reported. The government is under no obligation to act on any such reports and recom- mendations, but my left-wing opponents have deliberately tried to create the im- pression that the Gill Commission Report has been made government policy. This, too, is absolutely untrue. I have taken no action to implement the Gill Report. The government has taken no action to implement the Report. They claim that on March 21st I spoke at a meeting in Dunbarton. This, too, is absolutely untrue. | I spoke that day at Hillsburg, Ontario and made no mention of the Unemploy- ment Insurance problem. : They cite various paragraphs of the Gill Commission Report. | wish to state that these recommendations apply to seasonal workers only, and not to persons em- ployed in the industry which is not a seasonal industry. S.U.B. is a result of collec- tive bargaining between employer and employees and in this area the government will not interfere. | can assure the workers of Oshawa that if | were to propose any changes in the operation of the unemployment insurance fund, it would be to further protect the workers--not penalize them. This | have done in the past, e.g., raised benefits from 30.00 to 36.00. My worker friends in Oshawa and District need only to look at my record to be assured that all my efforts for years have been for them and not against them.
