doesnt promise to create set number of jobs but it will whittle down unemploy ment says NDP leader Stephen Lewis Lewis arrived in Barrie shortly after 330 Wednesday afternoon to hold press con ference at Paul Wessengers Simcoe Centre headquarters He has been on the campaign trail for month and said the Barrie session may be his last formal press conference before the Ontario elelction week from today In Barrie Lewis said why his program would work and why the Davis governments has not worked The New Deemocrat pro gram takes the $280 million the province has allocated for tax concessions to industries and uses it for direct job creation programs It also uses an additional $200 million the government had promised to Ontario Hydro The $280 million represents investment tax credits and sales tax rebates on the pur chase on new machinery and equipment by industries NARROWNESS MYOPIA The Davis government through its narrowncss and myopia has used them as its only special job creation tool Lewis said In 1970 Ontarios unemploy ment rate was just over four percent and in 1971 the govern ment introduced five per cent investment tax credit Lewis said The next year unemployment reached 46 per cent and by 1974 had clumbed to over five per cent By 1975 there were 224000 people or 64 per cent unemployed In that years budget the government in trodueed $410 million sales tax rebate for industries Lewis said but the unemployment reached 246000 by the end of the year By 1976 unemployment had risen greatly and the govem ment announced the rebates would continue indefinitely Unemployment now is runn ing at seven per cent and there is 20 per cent unused plant capacity he said Over the years the NDP has not been able to get concrete evidence the program was creating jobs he said Statistics Canada shows machinery purchases went down after the rebates were an nounced he added QUESTION Why did TD introduce NoCharge Chequing ANSWER Were trying to get your business QUESTION What does NoCharge Chequing offer ANSWER During PCA statement periods in which customers minimum balance is $200 or more TD cancels the normal 16C charge per cheque QUESTION Why is there minimum balance Lewis said it was not until 1975 that government started saying the rebates were needed to maintain competitiveness It suggested that argument was plucked out of the air to justify the program The NDP have been taking their stand in isolation he said but now the Howe In stitute which he described as cautious and not devoted to democratic socialism has issued papaer supporting the NDP arguments Lewis read from the paper which said in essence firms do not rely on tax credits tax credits to people would be more effective and concessions are generally viewed as windfalls by industries already planning expansion By 197778 $830 million will have been given as windfalls at the publics expense Lewis said Lewis then turned his ar guments to Premier William Davis charter which promises to create 100000 jobs year for the next 10years 100000 JOBS To reach that figure the government would have to pro vide an average total of 100000 jobs in 1977 over 1976 he said The average for the first third of this year was 35000 he said and it would take something positively supernatural for the governatural for the government to reach its objec tives Lewis said the government will fall 30000 to 40000 jobs BasebaH game is washed out South Simcoe Baseball League game between the Ivy Leafs and the Tottenham Bears was rained out Wednesday and will be made up sometime next week Ivy are

have been created He replied that Davis is using seasonally adjusted figures that compare April 1977 with Dec 1976 December was the worst month for unemploy ment Lewis said lewis argued that had Davis compared April with January the increase would have amounted to only 8000 jobs Lewis refused to put figure on the number of jobs his pro gram would create saying his party would not become obsess ed with figures You can never put an exact figure on some programs he explained but said the pro gram would whittle down unemployment The NDP knows where new jobs can be created in the private and public sector he said and will show the public where their jobs can come from Stephen Lewis talks with Paul Wessenger Simcoe Centre NDP candiate after the NDP leader had given what he said might be his last
