Premier asks for new training allowance Ontario Premier David Peterson has called on the federal government to create, with the cooperation of the pro- vinces, a new Canada Training Allowances for workers engaged in -long-term training. Peterson said that the creation of a Canada Training Allowance would be an, effective labour market adjustment step in an area that is the traditional respon- sibiltiy of the federal government — in- come support for adult workers. It would also reinforce recent initiatives under- taken in Ontario and other provinces to ex- pand their commitments to training and to prepare their economies for more rapid change. "This represents a proposal to ra- tionalize federal -provincial relations in an area of common responsiblity and com- mon concern." The new allowance could cost $750 million to $1 billion a year in the raid -1990s, more than doubling current expenditures. The full cost would be determined by how vigorous the provinces are in expanding their training budgets and by the pace of economic change. Peterson said that the introduction of such an allowance would provide income support for adults undertaking training that requires them to be away from the workplace and their normal sources of in- come. Allowances would be available to apprentices during their in -school train- ing, to employed workers required to take off -the -job training. as well as to' unemployed workers registerd in federal or provincial training programs. "We must ensure that our institutions are capable of assisting us adjust to economic change brought on by new trading patterns, by the introduction of new technologies and shifting demographics. In this uncertain environ- ment, Canadians are turning to training and retraining to develop the skills they need to be more productive and better able to deal with that change." According to Peterson, current income support mechanisms do not always serve our training objectives and can discourage useful training that might otherwise take place. Trainees encounter complex guidelines, bureaucratic delays and unrealistic support levels. By providing easier access, the new Canada Training Allowance would en- courage training needed by Canadians to enjoy rewarding and stable careers and by our economy to remain competitive. Peterson stressed that "to adapt to and benefit from the new global competitive environment requires a major national commitment. It also requires greater clarity in federal -provincial relationships." Legion ladies auxiliary hold.
