write about for pages was the alternative Journalists often call It picture more a framework for capturing the outlines of youth than the details where one can lose one bearings And at Dryden sees as necessary more than anything else Is a change in social and government attitudes to youth unemployment Most Important It Is the need to understand that sue high youth unemployment It permanent Yautl

Plan for the pro vince of Ontario A detailed examination of the dings of the Slater Task Force on In and the conclusions of Slater and his colleagues candidly addresses the issue that the tort system for all claims Is no longer or valid for the of On We propose a modified No Fault Plan and our preferred plan is the Michigan versus for example the Quebec plan The Michigan plan has a number of benefits that arc not currently ova lable under the Quebec plan not the least of which Is the opportunity to establish thresholds and classifications payable under the plan for all ex permanent Injury and death Ob viously formula would have to be drafted to define serious permanent Injury Falling that there could be recourse to an appeal board If there is a disagreement In a decision regarding

No fault Pi We believe this could be better handled by an ex tended first party coverage available on an option or the In Vic do strongly support the proposal for tort action on den and serious pern injury The No haul Plan as established In Michigan proves that such a plan provides Impressive Our support Is and must be bused on the assurance from ho Insurance Industry that savings and benefits would flow through the benefit of Ontario molorists thus reducing the extremely high level of paid by Ontario motorists Otherw the entire ex would have no purpose or value In correcting many the that
