' The keynote speaker for Theme 2 Group at the Liberal Caucus Conference • on "Building a Competitive Economy: Industrial Stra- tegy" - was John Shepherd, Executive Director, Science Council ' of Canada. Back- ground for discussion' were presented by former Minister of Finance, the Hon. Donald S. MacDonald on "Choosing Winners and Losers"; John Clark of the mining indsutry, on "New Canadian Businesses"; and Dr. Walter Curlook, Inc° Metals Company, on "Resources". John Shepherd stressed i 'the urgent need for an industrial strategy: Canada is rapidly becoming de- industrialized and we need to act very quickly: He placed great emphasis on the secondary manufacturing sector: in his view, high technology industries are a crucial factor. Expressing concern about the levels of foreign ownership and control in this country, he stated that if our,economy is to prosper and be, competitive we must foster Canadian-controlled enterprises. There is a role for Goverrnment, albeit a changing role. : - • Donald MacDonald, on the other hand, indicated that, in his view, an industrial strategy cannot work: bureaucratic decisions cannot make such a strategy successful. He favoured the restructuring of the tax system to reward those who are innovative, The resource sector will remain predoinin- ant, particularly in vieyi, of GATT. Urgent ' Neverthess, there was a strong consensus in the- group that ,an industrial strategy is urgently required. This should concentrate on development of the second- ary manufacturing sector in Ontario. as opposed to cont- inued reliance on our resource base, with particular emphasis on the creation of high technology industries. Ontario's wealth will con- tinue to derive from our natural, resources, but not to the extent that it has in the past. In developing an industrial strategy, we must be prepared to pick winners and losers, at least in broad terms, The dominant view was hat. a strong role for govern- ment exists in formulating and implementing an in- dustrial strategy for Ontario. Rather than disinissing government intervention, participants stressed that we need to look to new ways in which government can co- operate with labour and private industry. if Ontarici is going to be able to enter world-wide competition in the manufacturing area, 'we will need government as- sistance in the form of favourable tax policies and other incentives. Concern, was expressed. that there should be continuity and clarity in government policies at all levels. choir sang "God Has a Beautiful Plan for. YourLifel, with Diane Wilson singing the solo part, under the leadership of organist and choir leader Barbara Liver- It was generally agreed that there are pioblerns in ensuring that government financial resources will be used efficiently in supporting small business. For example, Over the long-term (7.10 years), as firms enter the expansionary stage, many sell, out or cease certain kinds of operation and therefore no longer necessarily fulfil in- dustrial goals and objectives as defined by government. Theme 4 was, "Wing with the Planet: Conserver Society", and the keynote speaker was David Brooke, Co-ordinator of !Ottawa's " Energy Probe. Background papers were presented by Jack Diamond, well-known lecturer on architecture and urban planning, on "Scale"; by Dr. Peter Victor; Research Consultant, on "Energy"; and by Norman Wei, who has worked on behalf of the Canadian Government with the International Joint Com- mission, on the "Environ- meni". Conserve It was agreed that we need to make the transition to a conserver energy-efficient society, stressing con- servation and the develop- ment of all possible renew- able options. Government at all three levels must play a on providing leadership. The key role, with the emphasis hallmark of the conserver . society is "doing more with less." We must take into' account the total costs of our actions, to ourselves and to future populations. Prudent use of our non-renewable resources is essential, as are the accelerated development of renewable, enemy re- sources, recycling and re- source recovery. Much mu: phasis was placed on in= 'creased self-sufficiency and community reliance on local resources, plus greater economy in the design of all , products, systems and buildings. Participants in this Theme Group fully accepted the logic of the conserver society. We face environ- mental and .resource limitS, rising costs, economic in- stability and social tensions . unless we modify our ,yvay of living. The public must be made aware that a conserver approach means a stable, more rewarding future, less pollution, more jobs and a healthy economy. In its leadership role., Government must inform the public of our energy choices, and demystify issues..like nuclear energy; must promote con- Servation, the increased use of renewables and the need for recycling - by demon- stration as well as education. Increased funding 'of re- search and development is important, and pricing/ Taxing policies should be designed to refie'ef the true • cost of energy production, garbage ,I .dispoSal, etc. Pricing policies should be based on the useripay principle, and incentives are necessary, such „as grants for insulation. Effective and ap- propriate land-use planning policies were discuSsed at some /length.
