Roger Worth Tvvo years ago, Sydney, N .S. businessman Harry Webber Webber developed a program called Atlantic Plus, an attempt attempt to convince consumers consumers and retailers to purchase loyally produced goods, creating creating jobs in the region. A year later, both the Ontario Ontario and federal governments governments enthusiastically backed backed schemes to promote Canadian Canadian products, pointing out that consumer spending on Canadian made goods could help reduce the nagging unemployment unemployment problem. Other provinces backed various schemes to a greater or lesser degree. The result: Ottawa's "Buy Canadian" program, after a slow start and a helpful assist assist from a ; devalued Canadian Canadian dollar, finally seems to be having a positive impact * in me marketplace. "The momentum is still building but we're already a minor success," says Jeff Smith of the federal Department Department of Industry, Trade & Roger Worth is Director, Public Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Commerce. "A recent study indicates awareness for Canadian Canadian made products has increased increased dramatically during the last year." Smith's department acts as an umbrella organization, co-ordinating the efforts of government anjd private Sec- , tor organizations,pressing Canadians to buj; goods produced.in produced.in this couqtry. For years, through a variety variety of incentives, Canadians have been pushed to buy made-in-Cana^a goods. But* this is the first time, it seems, that a concerted effort has' been made to tackle the problem problem head-on, at the emotional emotional level. Canadians are now being told through advertising, labeling labeling systems and other low- key promotions that buying Canadian made products is worthwhile, and why. The devalued Canadian dollar, of course, has helped spur interest, making Cana-, dian goods dramatically more price competitive. Smaller Japanese made cars, for example, example, that sold for less than S4,000 two years ago, are now worth $5,200 or more, mainly because of devaluation. devaluation. Meanwhile, Ottawa and many of the provinces are reassessing reassessing purchasing* policies with a view to increasing Canadian Canadian content without ruffling ruffling the feathers of the country's country's major trading partners. At the federal level, for example, it appears the Department Department of Supply & Services, Services, which already buys about' 80% of its needs from Canadian based firms, is moving moving a step down, attempting to expand access for smaller firms seeking sub-contracts from the big suppliers. For people like Ottawa's Jeff Smith and Sydney's Harry Webber, the total number number of jobs created because consumers turn to Canadian made goods is almost unimportant unimportant . What's fundamental 'to them is not overall statistics, statistics, but the fact that something something is being done about the problem. "We have to have confidence confidence in oûrselves, that's what matters," says Webber, a 'graduate lawyer who runs the family's retail clothing business in Sydney. His view differs little from that of Smith who says: "What We're concerned concerned about is improving the consumer attitude toward local products, be they made regionally or nationally. Jpst as long as the goods are Ca- ' nadian made." <
