The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-10-19, Page 30F PER1C1 $ NAL} 'AR, THURSDAY, , O TCBER XL 1971, tat ttt off -...O of women Th('Trudeau goverl)rent has Ole little, to eliminate; • the widespread discrimination ag- ainst women that still exists in 'Qanadian ,society, (respite a growing public oonaensua that KWh loading of the dice against women is unacceptable and must be remedied. Thi: govern- ment alleges that it is acting on the excellent recommendations of the Royal Commission Orli the Status of Women, but there is little evidence that it has done more than read them. The Progressive Conservative Party believes unequivocally th- at changes must be made to guarantee in law the, right of Canadian women to equal rights with men and, as a corollary, equal responsibilities. No longer can the country tolerate- an apparent lack of, t>nn- Wrest and the inconscionable delay in rectifying injustices towards women. The party also recognizes • without qualification that a woman should not be bound to traditional roles. Rather, she should be able to makeher own choice and indeed be en- couraged to develop her talents in any area she chooses. But such statements remain pious .platitudes unless • women seeking employment can be assured that they will be assessed on their merits rather than on their sex for job oppor- tunities, promotion and training. A Progressive Conservative - government will work speedily to implement in the public ser- vice a policy that treats women and men equally. Private industry and other governments would be encouraged, to act on t e federal : example: Our Party, as one move to remedy the present injustice towards women, will consider women in the same• way that men now are assessed for federal appointments. This com- mitment will involve the ap- pointment over a period of time of more women to the bench, to government boards and agen- cies, and to the Senate that is now the case. As well, we • will move to amend the Fair •Employment Practices Act to make sure that women are not subject to discrimination because of pregnancies that now too often mean instant dismissal from a job° A pregnairt woman should be given a leave of absence from her job while she is having her child.. The federal ' government should be a leader in making available day-care facilities, and in particular in providing funds for the training and provision of qualified personnel for day-care centres. Our Party' will also ensure thatthere is available to the public, free of charge, .birth con- trol and family planning infor- mation. Financial assistance for the training of .. family coun- sellors will be provided. The Progressive Conservative Party, realizing that there are personal moral commitments on both sides of the question, will provide adequate time for _parliamentary debate on whether the law permitting` therapeutic abortions should be amended. A Tree vum ►,.y..... follow. . Our Party . will amend the Divorce Act to reduce to one year the' present three-year separation period as a ground for divorce. We will also reduce to three years the present five year separation period required before a deserting spot a may fire for divorce. A government formed by our Party will establish a federal council on the status of women that would report directly to Parliament. The council's aim would be' to root our discrimination against women, to advise the government about the best way to eliminate discrimination, and to show the public' how harmful present discriminatory practices are T s We will also amend the Adult tccupational Training Act so that persons with full-time household responsibilities will be eligible to take advantage of the Act. Many of the - present adult training programs ignore ' the needs of rural women. The farm of the seventies has become a large and complex operation, resulting in a . new set of duties for them: Our party will provide assistance to help rural ,women meet these new challenges. Such assistance will include making available training programmes in farm management. and special courses in accounting, taxation and economics.
