He doesn't take my pulse, pat me on the head and treat me like a kid. He listens to what we talk about down at the plant. Tells us what he thinks . . . and it's always pretty sensible. "| like a man | can talk things over with. An M.P. has to have a lot on the ball, and I'm sure Claude Vipond has what it takes." Why a majority is needed We need a 5-year plan for Canada -- not a 5- month plan -- in order to deal with the problems ahead. The Liberal government has done well in 242 years in office. It has put through a heavy load of legisia- tion -- important legislation like the Pension Plan and the Autopact, as well as a distinctive flag for Can- oda. But there are difficult policies ahead in the job of maintaining economic: expansion, improving social security, and providing equal opportunity for all Cana- dians. The government needs a majority so it can gjet on with this important work without the constant ob- Structions.of the last parliament. In a majority parliament, government and: opposi- tion can settle down in the knowledge that the electo- rate will judge them on the-general impression they meke over 4 or 5 years. They can plan aheod on thot basis, knowing it will be the big issues that count. ' Published by Ontario Riding Liberal Associction Printed By Rotery Printing Co., Oshawa The_ need: 250,000 new jobs each year Liberat times are good times. And we must maintain good times if a needed 250,000 new jobs each year are to be provided for our young people now in school. Healthy economic growth 's es- sential The first report of the Economic Council of Canada sets out goals for Canadian growth -- a 5.5% annual increase im the Gross National Product from now until 1970, if enough new jobs are to be created. Since the Liberals came to office in 1963 this growth rate has been exceeded. Policies like the Autopact with the United States for a larger Canadian share in the continental auto market, and the Municipal Loan and Development Fund, have combined with record levels of foreign trade to set new records of prosperity in Canada. The Autopact has provided 16,- 000 jobs and will account for 60,- 000 as a result of increased manu- to 1970 facturing of cars and parts in Canada over the next 5 years. $500 benus plan for winter- built houses has Kept winter un- employment to the lowest evels in years, and has given house buyers a break A 10% cut im personal income texes has put purchasing power in consumers' pockets, and has given a healthy boost to demand 'and sales. When the Liberals came to power unemployment was the problem. It has been solved. The main tasks now are to maintain prosperity, and to provide a higher level of education and skills for Canadians. Liberal policy is to continue to encourage expansion through mea- sures similar to the Autopact, and through vigorous efforts to sell more Canadian commedities in world markets. Resources development and business growth will be aided by Vipond The trend is-- A clear Liberal trend in Ontario is indicated for the popular vote in the November & federal election. Gallup Poll: surveys show a 2 point shift towards the Liberais in Ontario, @ 2 point shift away from John Diefenbaker's Conservatives, and mo change in the rest of the vote. Dr. Vipond's campaign manager says that this Liberal swing will give the Liberals a majority. He points out that the independent candidate Dr. Rundle is identified os a Conservative, but that he may well pick up some former N.D.P. votes that are felt to be wasted om that party. Vipond: these are the issues MORE JOBS... and TRAINING FOR AUTOMATION The first order of priority is new jobs, through continued economic expansion. Under the Liberals Canada's growth has been larger than Economic Council goals. The Lib- . eral platform is exciting for even greater growth opportunities in the future. But expansion itself is only part of the answer. We need higher job skills-to provide better standards of living across Canada. More jobs skills Only one-quarter of Canadian workers are skilled, as compared with one-half in the USA, The Canadian level must be increased through better vocational and technical training, if we are to keep abreast in the age of auto- mation. Jeb training ond re-training are needed to provide the skills de- manded by automation -- for both riew workers in the labour force, and for men thrown out of work. Automation con knock out some types. of job almost overnight. As methods of production change, the skilis needed change as well. Men must be re-trained. The Liberals heve a pian te finence the re- training. The Liberol government hes provided extended financial assist- ance for technical training and re- training, including living allow- ances for unemployed men on re- training. And a Liberal govern- ment is pledged to provide even further assistance, including mov- ing allowances so that men can move from areas where there are ne jobs to places where there are. hiies 4 jenel opp oe must be given to young people if we are going to ensure employ- ment in future years. Canada's rate of university attendance. is lower than thet of the United States. Our rate of attendance must be increased if we are to compete in the world market piace with it's continuing new develop- ments in industry and products. Increased grants for university and technical training, including pay while re-training, have been made by the Liberals. And a basic plank in their platform is com- prehensive aid for education ond training to meet the needs of automation. A $40,000,000 scho- larship program has been announ- ced by Puime Minister Pearson. People need a@ second chance. When a@ man's job disappears through no fault of his own. Then he needs a second chance. Years ago skills lasted a lifetime. Now they can be eliminated by auto- mation. A Liberal government is pledged to expanding programs to keep Canada's working skills abreast of the démands of auto- mation the Canadian Development Cor- poration. This corporation will help deserving ventures with finan- ciait backing, and at the same time will afford Canadians great- er Opportunities to participate im the ownership of industry, MEDICARE BY JULY 1, 1967 The Liberals started hospitai- ization, beginning with the cross- Canada hospitalization insurance plan they made possible im 1957. Since then millions of dollars have been spent each year im- proving hospital facilities, training medical personnel, underwriting medical research. Liberal govern- ments have made grants to the Oshawa Hospital and the Ajax- Pickering Hospital, as well as many others across Canada. The next step i¢ medicare. The Liberals are pledged te introduce medicare by Canada's centennary year, July 1, 1967 -- @ plan thot incorperates these important feo- tures: @ Universal coverage of ail! Cana- dians @ Fully portable between provinces @ Takes care of all physicians ser- vices. PENSION PLAN PROVES THE LIBERALS DELIVER The Liberals introduced family allowances in Canada 20 years age. Since then they've introduced countiess social security measures, the latest being the Canada Pen- sion Plan passed earlier this year. This long record of achievement proves that it is the Liberals who will deliver on the promise to bring better social legislation to Canada in the future, starting with medicare. The Liberals have kept their promises in the past. They'll keep their promises in the future! INSIDE... Personalities Labour's view
