Last Tuesday we had an English test Smoking to be restricted in work places Federal Labor Minister Pierre H. Cadieux recently announced major new measures, both short and long term, to ,restrict smok- ing in work places subject to federal jurisdiction. "I am taking these initiatives," Mr. Cadieux 'stated, "to protect workers from the potential hazards of exposure to second hand tobacco smoke. "As an immediate measure," the Minister said, "I am requesting employers to restrict smoking in their workplaces to designated areas by the end of 1987, as a pro- tective health measure for their employees." . Secondly, as a long term measure, the Minister stated that he will ask the joint Tabor -industry -government Review Com- a mittee on Technical Revisions to the Regulations under Part TV of the Canada Labor Code to develop a new regulation 'regarding smoking in the work place, and to have it ready to take effect in 1989. "My personal hope," said the Minister, "is that the review committee will look seriously into banning smoking altogether." The Minister further noted that these in- itiatives are part of a comprehensive government policy on tobacco, and that they complement the plans of the Minister of Na- tional. Health and Welfare to introduce legislation in the House of Commons to ban the advertising and promotion of tobacco products, as well as initiatives announced today by .the President of the Treasury Board with regard to the Federal Public .S`ervice. "I am asking that all employees under federal jurisdiction be understanding of fellow employees who smoke," said Mr. Cadieux, "and I encourage non-smokers to help their smoking colleagues to adjust to the new -measures." The Minister said he is confident these major new initiatives will have both im- mediate and long-lasting benefits for' the 900,000 workers employed in about 33,000 work places throughout Canada that are covered by Part IV of the Canada Labour Code. acisraffsIONIZOISdif011 BROOKSI' 'E BROADCAST on wolves.
