Roger Worth Smaller firms can and do provide the vast majority of Canada's new jobs, but they could be producing even more employment if given the right incentives and sup- port That's the only conclusion one can draw from an as- toundingly successful On- tario small business pro- gram that has now been dup- licated, in part, by many other provinces. Developed in 1979, On- tario's Small Business De- velopment Corporation plan was introduced to encourage more individuals and cor- porations to invest in the smaller firms that were pro- viding most of the province's new jobs. To that end, the govern- ment provided a grant or tax credit equal to 30 per cent of the amount invested in the corporations. The corpora- tions were then required to invest the money in eligible small businesses. These now include small companies in- volved in manufacturing, processing, tourism, re- search and development, or book publishing. Here's what happened, ac- cording to a recent report on the program prepared by Toronto accountant William Farlinger. . -' By March this year the provincial government had provided $70 million in grants and .tax credits. The result: some 488 small busi- nesses received more than $210 million in new capital. What is intriguing is that the tax break enticed a lot of new investors into "the sys- tem. One-third of the inves- tors, for example, had never invested in small businesses before the program started. More important are the figures that show just how successful the program has been: investments by the corporations' have generated $860 million in additional sales, $490. million in addi- tional production, and a whopping $360 million in la- bor income. The investments have been directly responsible for creating 5,000 jobs, and indi- rectly another 6,000 jobs, even though the majority of the money has gone to firms with fewer than 50 employ- ees. It's important to note that the program has only been operating for five years, yet the businesses involved have been able to chalk up such a successful track record. "We're continuing efforts to convince the other pro- vinces to fully duplicate the Ontario program and help create more badly needed jobs," says John Bulloch, President of .the 64,000 -mem- ber Canadian Federation of Independent Business. "Some of the _,governments have gone partiv4ay, but the programs in other provinces are certainly less"successful than , those in Ontario, per- haps because there. are greater restrictions."

Women are one-third more efficient at swimming than men because of the greater amount of fatty tissue in theiriegs and chests, which makes women more buoy- ant.
