National Lacrosse League could. not be "described, as successful for the 'Whitby Steel. Hawks. But with thie promise of six haone-dates- next year, the ,Whftby, team,,the league land the spart itself 'should benefit-- and, not, despite laims ta the contrary, at the expense af youth who pla hockey or ringette or who, are figure skaters. Lacrosse has been popular at the youth level lacally, and six home dateés next season should pravide a measuring stick as ta just how popular the sport -is at the pro level.

This recessian has cut to the quick in terms of the vitallty of aur country's industrial heartland right here in Ontario. -Principal industries will not b. able to recover as they have in -the past, due, ta fre. trade and thè artifically high Canaian dollar and inteest rates. Many af the job lasses have been permanent. W.' have seen that with local companies that closed and factories that'are now empty. As a governiment, we need ta Ilîelp set a direction -for the kind of value-added technologies that will keep generating skilled jobs that can compete with the best in the world. Lackin9 federal leadership, aur provincial budget dedicated real dollars for investments in research and development. Thère,,will be a significant increase (50 per cent) for research and development costs on the part of large firms in Ontaria. Such firms should be encouraged to employ the best and' >brightest J9ntarians in real job-creating research and product development. Small firms will also be assisted through Innovation Ontario. There will also be'direct investment in research ta the. tune of .$131 million. Some may. scaif and say that these are merely details. I say that these are essential programs and that they demonstrate to the world how this province and your government are open to new business. We are helpinp the private sector invest in a real way in the future of our provincial econamy. In order to have a viable provincial economy, it is also- essential to aller a trained and vital workforce. We -are offoring the cammunity college systemn a new mandate in terms of Ëeshaping the skills upg rading that they aller. Massive investQnnts in retraining will occur through our colleges and universities. The Ernployee Wage Protection Fund wiIl ensur tht laid-off workers will be able to be retrained for a differenteanmy than the'one they left -- one' that requires different adofen more sophisticated skills. This is bath a social and an écnomic investment. We will have present and short-termn costs to this, but like any investment, the rewards will not came in the immediate ýerm, but rather within the next few years. Even though we may haveta wait until afterthe present recession to sae. the results, we^ k iw that we have no choice. Otherwise, we would be giving u; an the economy and the future of aur province and leaving it rudd rless. With* the exception of the United States, every vi 9e wori eonomy is founded upon co-operation between the priv e sectcir and gavernment in deterrnining the kind af industrial strat y that wlll work for that econamy. Whether the direction has co e tram right- wing or 'social dernocratic forces such asinEuroe vital economies have been a partnership in sustainable prosper y. The investments'that aur provincial» budget ,announc are an essential vaice'inhelping ta form a direction. Mr. Mulroney hýs said that w. -are "wuonaf ,stepu with the federal -government. We are proudta be so concemred about the-ravages t hatýour ecaomy ha suffered, that we'are setting a direction. We are proud ta, bé "ont of step" wthecsincatnfeeapoce.
