Regional councillors voted 24-5 recently in favor of a proposal that would have staff begin negotiations with the province that could see the region become a pilot project site for the work-for-welfare scheme. Scugog Regional Councillor Marilyn Pearce, who backs the idea, said there was reluctance on the part of some council members who feared that wel- fare recipients would be forced to carry out meaningless, chain-gang style jobs. There is also fear of a union back- ash. "There was concern from all regional councillors that we don't want to get involved in a program where we make welfare recipients pay an even higher price for hitting a run of bad luck," she said. The region wants to see any work- fare scheme consist of meaningful jobs that provide social assistance recipients with valuable job experience. It was suggested that positions could be cre- ated with the region's non-profit agen- cies. "None of us want to proceed if it's just dumping on welfare recipients," said Councillor Pearce. Workfare was a central plank in the Tories' election campaign last year. Since being elected the government has approached the con- Bt cept gingerly, but ® appears determined i. to bring it about. And Councillor . Pearce said the people who brought the gov- | ernment into power still want to see work- fare become a reality. "That's what the public is telling us, and they certainly gave this government the mandate to do this." Staff provided regional councillors with preliminary figures that called for up to 1,800 of the region's 9,000 welfare recipients involved in the pilot project. It's estimated administration of the project would cost $1.5 million, more than $1 million of which would be paid for by the province. PEARCE In TROUBLE WITH THE LAW! You NED SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE!
