Our plan is designed to increase the number of jobs created in Canada to 1.6 million during the next five years. That's half a million more jobs than most analysts are projecting under under existing economic polices. Our plan would also reduce thei unemployment rate to 7.1 per cent, lower the deficit and bring down inflation, inflation, without increasing taxes for low and middle income Canadians. Our plan would, create jobs by moving to a smarter economy so that ■we arc belter prepared to meet the challenges of the future. Let me share some of the highlights highlights of our plan: * A National Infrastructure Program, Program, which would create 130,000 jobs while rebuilding our physical infrastructure. infrastructure. * A National Investment Fund, which would create up to 200,000 jobs through investment in innovative innovative Canadian-owned, Canadian- based enterprises. „ * The elimination of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and introduction introduction of new tax measures, which together, would create more than 50,000 jobs and lead to a tax system that is fairer to low and middle income income Canadians. * A National Childcare Program which would provide direct employ ment to 70,000 childcare workers while providing care for 600,000 Canadian Canadian children and opening up training training and employment opportunities for their parents. * The abrogation of the Free Trade Agreement and ■ non- implementation of the North American American Free Trade Agreement to assist in the creation of Canadian jobs through resource maximization and value-adding. These agreements would be replaced with a new trade strategy. As New Democrats, we have developed developed a plan that gets Canadians back to work and Canada back on track. We believe in investing in people by ensuring that our workforce has the skills needed in a changing world.

Hope they don't get involved in the civil unrest currently sweeping that country. Each day more and more summer, bird species arc returning to their normal normal habitats. These include the Kild- ccr, Song Sparrows, Chipping Sparrows, Sparrows, and Cowbirds. Most of the Winter species have already taken off for parts unknown. Spring has sprung again once more already yet - or so we believe. Having already prognosticated the final final arrival of spring some weeks ago which proved to be wrong, wrong, wrong. Last week was definitely one of a kind, or so we hope. For most of three days our area was subjected to an almost continuous freezing rain - (Dutch mist but colder). The net result result was that here at Malconia, as elsewhere, we presume we had a build up of ice on everything. Particularly Particularly vulnerable were the arboreal population where accumulations of one to two inches of ice were the norm. The results as to be expected and disastrous. One after another, limbs of varying demensions collapsed collapsed under the increased weight and came crashing down with a rattle and a roar quite disconcerting, particularly particularly during the midnight hours. One large limb 6-8' in thickness fell across a hydro line to our outside world until the chain saw was brought into action. By Sunday the warmer weather had loosened the icy covering that encompassed the trees and roofs and this came rattling to the ground leaving a floor covering of : unlimited ice cubes 2-3 inches deep which soon turned to slush. Slowly, the unsightly mess of broken limbs is being cleared away and things arc reluming reluming to normal.
