Employrnen t Opportun ities are irnproved BY SCOTT FENNELL (Ontario riding MI') Last week I spoke about this government's child care initiatives. This week I would like to discuss the employment situation for Canadian students. Prom the beginning this governinent decided we needed to take a new approach to training and job creation. After discussions with the provincial governments in February 1985, we established five basic principles which would forin a new national direction for employment opportunities, and we followed this new approach. We worked with the provinces, business, labor, and community groups to ensure that these training and employement principles were mutually supported. Since the Progressive Conservative govemnment was elected in 1984, the employment opportunities for students bas improved. In June 1988, 35,000 more students had a summer job than in the saine month last year, and 176,000 more had a summer job than in June 1984. More students had a summer job in June 1988 than in any other June in the 12 years that Statistics Canada bas been publishing student summer employment data. For Ontario students, 1988 was the best June on record! Some 439,000 students had a summer job in June 1988, an increase of 14,000 froi the same month last year, and an increase of 66,000 students froin June 1984! The Ontario student unemployment rate fell from 11.3 per cent in June 1984 to 7 per cent in June 1988, a drop of 4.3 percentage points. These resuits show that this government is doing what bas to be done to build real and lasting jobs through a stronger national economy, and through this, a stronger Canada. LETTER FROM PAGE 6 but let's have the strength of purps to say "No" to more developers."no" to more people moving in. Does WVhi tby just keep growing and growing, wiping out everything that made it an attractive town? Does Dundas St. really need anothér fast food restaurant, another gas bar beside welI established homes? Dundas St. bas become an eyesore and an embarrassment to Sayno the tewn. Just who runs the town of Whitby, the elected representatives with a planning department accountable to thern or the money that developers are repourings into the coffers? I get the feeling that the Passage" that Whitby is going through is more like a tide or river water-like in 'sold down the river.! Now, Ill carry on with my daily routine while listening te the bulldozers tearing up our meadow.
