Commerce told Prime Minister nude.“ and the cabinet that “every cam sttouldttemadetoremmre" icurltles in business- government relationships." President Neil V. German, Q.C., who led the Canadian Chamber delegation presenting its annual policy statement to the government perform more effectively, prosper and provide the ever-increasing employment needs of the country. “Businessmen, in the main, do have a keen and sustained sense ot respon- sibility towards the well- being of the Canadian economy, the consumer and society." The chamber recognizes that there will always be times when business and government will have dif- ferences of opinion. Mr. German continued, "However, we suggest that the time is long past when legislation having major economic implications should be tabled without full prior discussion with the business sector regarding practicalities involved. "This would help to ob. viate many of the current difficulties whereby the business community is often faced with the prospect of reacting, after the fact, to ill- thought-out legislation." The chamber said it would favor the same opportunity being afforded other interest groups. Mr. German commended the government on some of the enlightened and helpful initiatives taken on behalf of business, such as: personal and corporate income tax cuts; the removal of the 12 per cent federal sales tax on pollution control equipment; initiatives taken for the removal of the U.S. sur- charge on Canadian exports; and the efforts made in developing new trade t portunities. The brief said that Canadian industry and the economy, generally, are today faced with three major pieces of federal legislation which as currently framed or enacted are, in some respects, incompatible with economic growth objectives. In the chamber's view tax reform should not, of itself, be the primary objective of either the government or of business, but should be related to the objective of the enhanced welfare of all Canadians which objective demands a healthy and growing Canadian economy. The government was commended for having eliminated much of the uncertainty in the business community, caused by the process involved in the development of the tax reform legislation, through the introduction of the new Income Tax Act on January Tucanadianct-ttterttt "However," the chamber said, "we regret that there remains a large residue of uncertainty insofar as a number of the Act’s provisions are concerned, which uncertainty will, surely, inhibit business ef- ficiency and en- trepreneurship for some time to come unless and until these provisions are clarified." The brief stressed that the Competition Act is giving business serious concern. Certain proposed measures not only outlaw long- standing business practices, based on sound economics, but which would also drastically curtail the ability of business to function ef- fectivelyuin an increasingly hostile environment. Areas of concern to business in the Competition Act are: the proposed tribunal which, due to its virtually unrestricted discretionary powers, would contribute to business on- certainty and inhibit em trepreneurship; the proposal which is implicit in many of the bill's provisions which envisages shifting of the burden of proof from the Crown, where it traditionally belongs, to the accused who is normally required only to answer an established case; the concept of per se of- tenses, particularly in the absence of fraud; and the abandonment of the un- duenesa concept with respect to the pro sed criminal offences an prohibited trade practices._ The' chamber was dllmrbed by a number of the provisions contained in the Chamber' urges proposed Canada Labour Code, and, particularly, those dealing with technolgieal change. “This attitude," the brief stated, “arose not because our members' have an un- felling attitude towards those affected by technological change, but, rather, because the sections in the bill dealing with this subject w0uld seriously inhibit the technological improvements that must be made if Canadian en- terprises are to remain viable in this era of change and increasing competition at home and abroad." The Canadian Chamber made the following suggestions for improving business-government rel- ations: A closer and more open relationship between community boards of trade and chambers of commerce and parliamentarians. The Canadian Chamber has suggested to these boards and chambers that they invite their members of parliament to address them and that each member of parliament be invited to engage in plant visits or Know your heart If a contagious epidemic ran rampant throughout Canada killing more than 77,000 persons, a state of disaster would be declared and parliament would be besieged with demands for preventive measures, while across the country men, women and children would line up in emergency im- munization centres. An epidemic is taking place in Canada. Heart and blood vessel digeasgwkillsr women annually, and over 50,000 of these deaths are caused by heartattack. the most lethal form of heart disease. Why don't Canadians react to heart attack as they would to any other mass killer disease? Some of the reasons may lie in the fact that heart attack, which is the nation's leading cause of death, is not contagious, although there may be a family history of this form of cardiovascular disease. And, public apathy can also be explained by the mistaken feeling that heart attack is inevitable and nothing can be done about it. Unlike other epidemics, there is no mass im- munization against heart attack. But, there are things every man and woman can do to help protect themseMzs and their families from this ruthless health menace. Medical science has yet to discover the underlying cause of the blood vessel disease, atherosclerosis, which corrodes and narrows the arteries and sets the stage for heart attack. However, research studies have revealed ways to control the progress of this disease, and thereby help individuals reduce their risk of being victimized by heart attack. Your Heart Foundation presents a four-part series on heart disease to inform the public of the progress being made to combat this twentieth century health hazard. By.. John B.

This would help to ensure that much greater use is being made of the ex- pertiseand good will of the business community and, thus, maximize the benefits deriving from sound business-government int- erchange. The chamber was pleased to note that the minister of labour is coo- sidering establishing an advisory board of boards on labor matters, and business is ready to cooperate with the minister. The minister of industry, trade and commerce should properly have a voice in the legislation arising out of other departments which have a bearing on business and industry. The minister has a prime role in representing the business community at the cabinet level. Of equal importance, cabinet ministers whose departments deal with issues of major importance to The risk factors that medical scientists have discovered are high cholesterol levels in the blood, high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, obesity, and lack of exercise, It appears that any one of these factors increases the chances of a heart attack, and that a combination of two or more multiplies this risk. personal and medical histories of heart attack victims, certain risk factors have been identified which show that millions of Canadians, especially those in the prime of life, are endangering their hearts by the way they live. Many of these conditions start early in life. By the time a great many Canadians reach their thirties or forties, they may 1mknowingly have high blood pressure, and the beginnings of blood vessel disease. During these prime years of life they are already potential heart attack vic- tims. Similarly, many people may be exposing themselves to the other risk factors without realizing they are candidates for heart attack. As a precaution, and to in- crease their chances of living longer and healthier, the Canadian Heart Foun- dation recommends that all individuals take the following steps to protect their hearts: See your doctor regularly for a physical check-up. This will enable him to find out if you are one of the millions who suffers from high blood pressure or a high blood cholesterol level without realizing it. Eat less saturated (animal) fats and cut down on foods with high cholesterol content. Don't smoke cigarettes buai-ttouidtteprytted to give adequate emphasis to the business point of view. This concept would help to counter any feeling within the business community that much ot the legislation, which has a direct bearing on business, is drafted without a full knowledge by either ministers or their officials of the effects on the businesses which are to be regulated or affected. The chamber further recommended that in areas which concern the business process, such as competition policy, tax policy, and employer-employee relat- ions, business input be soughtas early as possible in the policy formulation process so that before legislation is introduced the views of the business community are at least registered and understood. Studies have revealed that men who are heavy smokers have up to ten times the risk of non-smokers of having a heart attack. Experience had shown that when legislation is in. troduced. the prestige of the cabinet minister is behind the bill and that face-saving considerations are then critical in the event that some provisions prove detrimental or even un- workable. Maintain normal weight tor your height and age. _ Adopt a programme of regular, moderate exercise compatible with your age and physical condition and with your doctor's approval if over 40 years of age. These are simple health rules that any family can follow without a radical change in life-style. The immediate benefits would be the reduction of risk of heart attack. Atherosclerosis starts early in life. Therefore it is especially important that children learn and practice these good health habits. Next.. Parents, Set a Good Example'.

The Canadian Chamber was encouraged by the response received from its corporate membership to the Hire a student promotion. Several companies in- creased their student hiring and designed special programs to maximize student-business dialogue. Although statistics on student hiring practices in 1971 are not yet available. the chamber predicted that the results will show that the private sector provided a greater percentage of the total number of summer placements than previously. The chamber, while committing itself to continue its efforts to reduce the student summer em- ployment problem, warned that as long as the education system is so structured as to place over a million young people on the temporary l a b o ll r m a r k e t simultaneously in May and June of each year, business will be increasingly less able to abosrb them. their departments, Other topics will focus on how to sell to the federal government, the effect of the new tax system and the new unemployment insurance regulations on business, and the significance of the Industrial Development Bank for commerce and industry.
