Donations will be received. 295,000 An independent study forecasts the loss of another 295,000 jobs because of the NDP Government's new labor law. There are already close to 600,000 people out of work in Ontario. Because of increasing personal and business bankruptcies and the lack of new investment, tax revenues are down and government deficits are soaring in an attempt to finance needed social programs. Businesses are moving and new investment is going elsewhere as a result of Ontario's reputation as being anti-business and pro-union. Tell the Ontario Government it is wrong to bring in a new law that will further discourage investment in Ontario and its future, Think about it Let Premier Bob Rae and your local Member of the Legislature know what you think about it, A message brought to you In Hie public Interest by Die Ontario members of tlx Canadian Dally Newspaper Association and The Ontario Community Newspapers Association
