Every time Canadians buy their own products, they give Canadians work. Right here in .Ontario, manufacturing industries employ about.one million people. That's 25% of all the jobs in Ontario. When we shop Canadian, vire strengthen the economy of our prov- ince and our country. By purchasing products that say "Made in Canada', we're develop- ing and maintaining the industrial strengths we need, to compete' in world-wide markets. And we're helping ourselves right here at home by strengthening Ontario's resources and assuring out future growth. So the next time you're buying something, look for the symbol that says "Made in Canada': Ontario Larry Grossman, Minister of Industry. and Tourism William Davis, Premier
