Wilfrid Laurier Uni versity (WLU)y has a full schedule of events planned for March 4â€"10 1) create a skilled labour force in Ontario to meet industry‘s needs and enable yvoung people to find fuifilling work. This can be done by introducing the neces sary apprenticeship incentives; providing the manpower coâ€"ordi nation at both the provincial and municipal levels; funding our own universities and community colleges so they can provide effective highâ€"quality jobâ€"train ing programs. 2) provide retraining programs for those whose talents and skilis are becoming redundant due to technological changes "He was in to work the Monday following his election and has since had a number of public engagements where he laid out his priorities. Primary on the list was the Ontario economic decline and adjoining problem of unâ€" employment. At the same time the premier had the audacity to say to the people of Ontario: *"Provincial budgets already strained by adâ€" verse economic conditions, high interest rates and most imporâ€" tantly the need to redress the social fallout of rising unemploy ment, will be requird to either reduce the level of social services or raise taxes." During the next session, which begins on Mar. 9, Peterson in tends to press the government on these issues. His vision of Ontario‘s future includes: "A strong economy and a caring, compassionate soci oty"" On the weekend of Feb. 19â€"21, the Ontario Liberal Party elected a new leader, David Peterson, MPP London Centre. 4) consider immediate major public initiatives in job creation "In January 1982 there were 21,565 permanent or indefinite layoffs in Ontario by December 1981, compared with 10,347 by the end of September. This marks a 108 per cent increase over the previous nine months. Nor does this include thousands of tempoâ€" rary layoffs in the auto, appliâ€" ance, farm machinery and lumâ€" ber industry." + The Ontario government‘s reâ€" action to this crisis situation was to point the finger at the federal scene. They also took some ‘‘*positive" action and that was to purchase 25 per cent of an Americanâ€"based oil company. Peterson set forth his priorities for action on the economy as folâ€" lows: 3) invest in the industries of the future; i.e., fuel aleohol Queen‘s Park Report Laurier hosts events He also feeis we all have a part Introduction to Kea ton and Sherlock Jr. and the General are two films to be shown by the WLU English department on Tues day, March 9 in room 267 of the arts build ing The WLU chapel choir, under the direction of Barrie Cabena, will be featured in a choral) service on Wednesday. March 10 at 12; 20 p.m in the Keffer Memorial Chapel at the corner of Albert and Bricker Sts Pennington, Ph.d Also on Wednesday In our view, the government has provoked the present con frontation by an unrealistic offer and an arbitrary. inflexible nego tiating stance x Notwithstanding the doctors‘ entitlement to fair compensation. there is never an excuse to strike against the health of the public. While we understand the doctors‘ sense of grievance, part of which is legitimate, we believe the ‘"study day" tactic is wrong, victimizing as it does innocent people. The government‘s 10 per cent offer is simply not realistic. If applied, it would induce more doctors to opt out of OHIP, further undermining our health system. We believe that doctors must be adequately paid. This requires regular increases in the OHIP fee schedule to ensure fair compenâ€" sation. If fees were adequate, fewer doctors would decide to practise outside the program, preserving the vital principle of universal accessibility to quality health care. The Ontario Medical. Associaâ€" tion‘s call for a series of oneâ€"day *"*study sessions" highlighted the impasse reached between docâ€" tors and the ministry of health in talks on a new fee schedule. These study sessions have ocâ€" curred in virtually every region of the province. Ministry of health negotiators have offered doctors a clearly inadequate increase of only 190 per cent for one year, knowing full well that this offer is unfair and unacceptable. Worse, by calling in a factâ€"finder at the end of the second meeting, the govâ€" ernment cut off dialogue with the doctors, which has led to needâ€" less confrontation. Understandably, the doctors are angry. They resent the governâ€" ment‘s peremptory negotiating tactics. They also claim their incomes have fallen behind, and are demanding a fee increase of 31 per cent over two years, plus a costâ€"ofâ€"living adjustment. We, in the Ontario Liberal Party, believe that both the government and the OMA have shown a certain lack of responsiâ€" bility, and we have called upon both sides to reconsider their positions before exposing the public to unnecessary anxiety and risk. to play in making that vision a reality .
