PARLIAMEN7 HIIL L Alex Shepherd Even in the face. of global f1inanclal problems Canada's economy continues to pro- duce jobs not only nationally but locally. Seventy-three-thousand jobs were created across' Canada in September, brin- mng the number of jobs creat- ed in the last quarter to 136,000. Locally 2,531 job vacancies were listed in September, up from 1,666, in August, and 1,510 in July, Forecasts for Durham esti- mate the number of new jobs -for people living in the area wvill climb by about 12,000 a jear over the next 10 years. 1 tbink these numbers, bet- ter than any other economic statistic, at a time when there is s0 much economic turrnoil worldwlde, speak volumes about the underlying strength of the Canadian economy. I don't tbink this Is the gov- ernment blowing its own homn so-to-speak. Not when the International Monetary Fund in its "World Economic Outlook" reported Canada would enjoy a 2.5 per cent growth during 1999., the Conference Board of Canada, as well, has sald we would enjoy 2.4 per cent growth in 1999, while CIBC Wood Gundy forecasted 2 per cent for the same year. 15Sowbile other economies continue to cool Canada's is weathering this economic storm in relatively good shape. T,ýhe- unemployment rate remains at an eight-year low of just over 8 per cent. This is a far cry from the 11.4 per cent this government inherit- ed just after taking office in Ail subscriptions pur- chased by October 23rd are eligible to win a trip to Montrealfor a concert by the Montreal , Symphony Orchestra under -conductor Charles Du toit.

A large part of the national job creation picture reflects youth employment. Forty- three-thousand jobs were cre- ated in September'account- ing for more than haîf of the 73,000 jobs created. The federal govemrment is dedicated to a long termi jobs and growth strategy, a strat- egy this goverrnent has fol- lowed since it first took office. How can -Ie account for thîs? Wý ell simply put Cariadians wanted balanced budgets, low inflation and low interest rates. These factors ail have a role to play. Regardless of what politi- cal pundits, economists and speculators say - and 've noticed no two are saying the saine thing - our economy is strong and will continue to performi better than most of the OECD countries.
