I have often heard the comment that the "work ethie" in Canada has been seriously eroded, that many Canadians prefer a life of inactivity at public expense. Recent studies carried out by my department contradict this opinion. The resuits show that apart from family relationships, work remains the most im- portant means for seif-fulfilîment in the eyes of Canadians. There 15 nothing mysterious in this. In addition to income, Our jobs can give us a feeling of pride, self-respect and of belonging, of being part of the mainstream. As Minister of Manpower and Immigration, with responsi- bility for the- Unemployment Insurance Commission, I have been working to ensure that al Canadians have access to both the income and personal satisfactions associated with work. We have new Manpower Centres, Job Banks, new tramning and mobility programs, special services for worketrs with peia problemns, and a wide range of job cetinpýogramrs such as the Local Initiatives Programn (LIP) and OpportunIities for Youth (OFY). These efforts are synchronized with thec activities of the Unemployment Insurance Commission and Immigration 10 pro- vide Canadians with maximum access to job opportunities. Unfortunately, some Canadians remain trapped in unem- ployment, and cut off from the rewards of work. Income support for unemployed people is a must. How- ever, sending cheques to these people is flot enougli. People don't want to be set off in a corner somewhere. For those people who are among the so-called "hard-core" unemployed or on the margins of th5e labour force, we are taking new steps 10 provide them with opportunities to upgrade their own abilities, 10 contribute t0 society, and 10 earn greater rewards fromt it. NEWFOUNDLAND PROJECT The problein with many workers who appear on unecm- ployment insurance (U.1.) daim with considerable regularity is that they need help in equipping themselves for more long-term work. They need training- recycling of their abilities. in order 10 break out of the unemployment cycle. In a new approach to finding a solution to this problem, the Department, of Manpower and Immigration and the Unem- ployment Insurance Commission (UIC) have developed a Pilot Project for Newfoundland. -Selected people will receive training or re-training to pre- pare them for immediate skil shortages in the labour market or for future job opportunities. Most of these trainees will be un- employment insurance claimants. Th'le triinee will continue 10 receive benefits while he prepares hùimself for increased employ- ment opportunities 50 that bce won't 15e trapped in unemploy- ment by virtue of his skil shortages wh1ich may have caused the problem in the first place. Also, ini the long run, we stand 10, save in Unemployment Insurançe funds. We are exploring other areas where we could make more positive use of unemployment funds as well. COMMUNITY EMPLOYMIENT STRATEGY (CES) We have also begun a three-year developmental stage of the Community Employment Strategy (CES) vwhich would pave the way for nation-wide co-operation aimed at those Canadians who have continuing and special difficulty finding and keeping regular employment. Ils clients will include, for example, the pbysically handicapped, mentally retarded, socially handicapped (including the unskilled), people with inadequate employment income who live in areas of chronic unemployment or under- employment, ex-inmates of mental or correct onal institutions, and single parents who for a variety of reasons cannot find work outside thie home. We wýiI1 begin with 20 developmental communities acr oss the country. The Community Employment Strategy wil create more opportunities for people who may have been traditionally ex- cluded from Canadian life and work. MIORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CANADIANS In th5e broader picture, a Canadla NManpower Policy mnust increase the opportunities of individuaal Caniadians 10 15e self- suffîcient, 10 participate and contribute miore 1 the life of Canada and thereby earn greater rewards. -m- - ~ Permission ta Us E ~-~-- -LXI-\-r---N Local Court Cham bers Newcastle council moved peÙ . onc1rencondition 115 concurrence 10 a request from chamberseweredavainabe JMSSAMUEL 67 King St. E.
