jobs Excerpt from Hansard Mr A Philbrook Halton Mr Speaker my question is directed to the Minister of Employment and Immigration As reported recently by Mr J T Kennedy the incoming president of the Canadian facturers Association Canada is faced with a serious shortage of skilled labour especially in the trades whereas fewer European tradesmen are coming to Canada Is the minister working with the provinces to provide more tunities and incentives for young Canadians to train and apprentice as skilled craftsmen and provide more employment in a strong growing manufacturing sector Hon Bud Cullen Minister of Employment and Immigration Mr Speaker given the fact that the field of education is within provincial jurisdiction we work in very close cooperation with all of them under the Adult Occupational Training Act and our apprenticeship programs with our emphasis being on the jobcreation aspect I am happy to say that the provinces are cooperating particularly under the Adult Occupational Training Act We are entenng into a new series of threeyear agreements with the provinces We are shifting our emphasis from simply the training aspects where training seems to be needed to tram individuals for jobs which in fact will be available The result of a recent study conducted in southern Ontario indicates that 75 per cent of the highly skilled jobs in the manufacturing industry were filled as result of immigration rather than training of Canadians I think that is an emphasis we have to change LArche Auxiliary has June meeting The June meeting of Donations may still be sent
