The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the status af this project. You may remember that some time ago, it was determined that Canadian small businesses were in need of assistance in dealing with AIDS in their working envi- ronments. It was decided, at that time, that one way of providing this assistance would be the devel- opntent of a manual for them. This manual would contain informa- tion consistent with the needs of the employer who is faced with AIDS in the workplace. Although there continues to be much merit in this plan, it has, since been decided that there may be different ways to approach this problem, ones that might be equally beneficial to big and small Canadian businesses. For the moment, therefore, the manual is not going ahead. We are actively pursuing a range of ideas and should have something tangible in • the next little while. In the meantime, I will keep you informed of future developments •in this area. The letter above was sent to AIDS Awareness by Raymond • Leblanc, program officer at the Fed- eral Centre for AIDS, Health. and Welfare Canada.
