Sees Industrial 4vend-- (Continued from page 3) receiving financial assistance in the form of grants ,from "tea Govern-- meritto give lf price preference to goods of Canadian manufacture or which are fabricated large.i.) from Canadian materials. "To give you, Mr. Speaker, and the Hon. Members of this House an idea of what apolicy of the kind would mean in terms of em- ployment, let me relate to you some information provided by u, firm in my riding, which manu- factures a line of equipment used extensively Y by the Department of. 'Highways. I am referring to roar grading, roan maintenance a n d snow, removal equipment. "I am informed by the general manager of this firm, that it re- quires about 1290 hours of pro- ductive labor for the manufacture of one heavy duty grader. An ad- ditional 400 hours of supervisory and,., administrative labor per ma - Chine is required. Add to this a further 400 hours of productive administrative" and supervisory labor and you will see that 2,000 Canadian man hours go into the production of every heavy r' road grader Tilade by this firm. Or to reduce this to even more effective terms— employment for one month for eleven„ men. "The foregoing can be related in• varying terms ' to everything the government and & a'ny institutions either-diseetiy-or .indirect1N.,order their' control require, to buy and while I am not suggesting that a sizable proportion 9f the goods and services they require are not now being bought in, Canada, I am sug besting that there is still a rather broad list of items which are frond time 10 time bought from other countries, that could and should be bought, in Canada and Ontario. "Mr. Speaker, I am not in a position to describe the advantages which v ch would accrue bey.o,lnd the more or less specific terms I have 'used in these remarks. Neverthe- less„„ all Hon. Members will be aw..re that there -are many as- sociated benefits the added income would inject into tie economy of our cities, towns and villages. ' "May I also point out, Mr. Speak- er, that under their 'Buy America Act' our friends and neighbors to • the south will not even .tconsider the purchase by Government, or Government agencies, of foreign goods unless they. are at least 20'i cheaper than they could ---be ab- tained on the home market. I am also informed that the various States- give -additional i efer to local suppliers versus out-of- state manufacturers. "Full implementation of such a' program in Ontario is not only warranted but, in my..opinibn. lack ,'ef' such a policy is ' irreconcilable with present employment condi- tions. "B , i(s e' cosi A' ola,ser3ra- n i to saya5', it is my .4•44-1—, n that, with.. the tabling of, the report of the Select Committee on Laor ,Rela- tions, by the lion.. Minister of Mines,,.ttiis .GQvernmeut .tock the greatest sing ,step forward sinee the 'Labor Relations Act was first placed on the statute books of this Province, , • "Why, Ml'. Speaker? ' Because this report and its recom'menda- tions are evidence of recognition, Qn the part of the large and re- sponsible elements of labor and other branches of our Canadian society, that the tactics of the ir- responsible segments of labor roust be checked. Recognition that the steadily increasing , pattern of strikes and the subsequent higher cost of labor have .been the prin- cipal factor contributing to the mounting costs of consumer goods and the inflationary' tendenoies that threaten our economy, result- ing in loss of export business, large- ly because we are priced out of the market. "Another .serious aspect• of this whole situation, Mr. Speake, is that there are many branches of our society, who do not possess the „counterpart of the strike weapon with which to retaliate. In the rural areas of the Province, the r--frtids-1h-h seH f -a ee . wit '- costs of the goods and services he must buy, increasing at a considcr- ably.faster pace than the price ob- tainable for what he produces for sale. Whether compulsory market;, ing. plans will effectively provide the answer to this serious situation is, to a very considerable extent, yet ta,..;be._.sP�n.; _NBu .thheiiess, it is faced with the hecessi4y of 'de- veloping ,Some means of combatting 'matters 'collectively over which in- dividually he has little or no con- trol. "However, there 'is another branch of society that suffers evctrl. more.. I refer to the hundreds of thousands of people on fixed in- comes. This group ,finds itself in the middle of the squeeze, entirely helpless to do 'anything about it. People relying on ineomes. which, at the time of retirement were adequate. to meet their needs, now I find the value of their dollars ' shrinking day ,by day. Pensioners I are in virtually the same position. tiTr. Speaker, I . would say to those who would criticise the detail of this report and its recommenda- tions, that 'tiley consider carefully full y and objectively the matters I have referred to in the foregoing re- marks. Some praise for the spirit, it not the letter, of the recommend- ations seems to me no .mare than warranted, as well as the fact that unanimity was reached by mem- bers of the Committee on most of what the report recommends.: I am confident, i'h. Speaker, that the, many branches of labor, who re- cognize a full sense ofrespiinsibil- ity to all of our ,Canadian society. will cndor-se the report in spirit and lend their wholehearted assist- ance toward its eventual imple- me ntution."

The Lord ori.hig}ris mi st, ier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea." Referring to a Biblical incident, Rev. Mr. MacMillan 'told of those who had come through deep water to -dry land and had not been for- saken ,by the Lord in their mo- ments of great fear. The minister compared . their trials to those. of every day life When people, on looking back, re- called times in' their life when they seemed hoplessly assailed by temp- tations and troubles. They were of such fury that they could be likened to flood and tempests. Even when you are, buffeted about by the storms ,of life until you feel it' is beyond human endur- ance, God is with you, Rev.
