But unfortunately one which defies human ability to predict accurately and sucâ€" cessfully. ‘ ii§etwi§é do not have to throw up our hands in despair or throw the baby out with the bath water â€" as the Prime Minister of our country is so apt to do. At this critical time in our history, our people are concerned. and some even frightened. about the future directions of Canada. A lot more are thoroughly confused about our economic perâ€" formance. There is much justification in these expressions of uncertainty. Never before have we experienced parallel developments of high unemployment and severe inflation. In past periods of economic un- certainty, we either had worsening inflation or unbelievable unemployment. as occurred during the depression. That is why Ontario advocated, as early as April 1974, that strong leadership was needed to stem the -tides of inflation, Our practical advice was ignored, only to be embraced in different forms some 18 months later. Thomas Sinton, 24, of Queensville, is in in- tensive care at York County Hospital. Newmarket, as a result of being burned around his face, hands and arms in an accident at Goodman Auto Parts, Davis Drive. Many times I recall some of my more harrowing experiences from those days. After it was over, everybody agreed they never wanted to see another depression. In those days everything economic was more black and white. Now. along comes Mr. Trudeau proclaiming that the “free” market system no longer serves our purpose. He conveniently ignores the fact that our market system â€"â€" our private enterprise way of life â€" has helped us to enjoy one of the best standards of living in the world. Although the percentage of p: welfare in York dropped from 0.5 over the year, creased number agers receivil benefits is causi According to Milton MacDonald, welfare administrator, many family counselling agencies are telling teen- agers, who don’t get along well at home, to leave and apply for welfare. He said that, of the 1,129 people receiving welfare last month, about 250 were single. agers receiving its benefits is causing con- cern to the region’s health and social services committee. When I place quotation marks around the word free; we recognise that the market system is not without its imperfections and peculiarities. It is relatively free in contrast with so many countries which have gone the centralized, regimented way of life. ‘ Teen Is that what our prime minister is offering us in future years as our leader? He only compounds existing confusion. Common sense simply tells you that this institution occasionally needs some im- provements and tune-ups, just like our own car. Those receiving welfare in the region last month included 217 heads of families and 515 dependents. The very market system which Mr. Trudeau regards as obsolete will help Ontario’s economy to recover effectively in the first quarter of 1976. Economic growth is expected to reach 5 per cent because Ontario‘s exports of raw and fabricated materials will be require in the light of a highly improved US. economy. What persists is a really perennial problem in the rate of high unemployment among our young people and women, as more and more continue to enter the work force. As I have reported before, the Ontario Govern- ment is making every effort in 1976 to restrain the rate of government expenditure to 10 per cent. Already our intentions are being tested to the full.

Box 2501, New Westrmnster, B‘C‘ Prepared in consultation with the Canada Salely Council Because we sense the urgency of beating back inflation, we support the principle of a prices and incomes program. For these reasons Ontario refused to create a provincial anti-inflation board as argued so fervently by the opposition parties. Inflation is a national problem which can only be beaten by a national effort. Separate provincial boards would only fragment and disrupt the federal counter-inflation effort, Ontario did not champion the controls program as the final answer to our economic woes. We are looking to Ottawa for solid, sensible. and sound leadership on the economy, not some future heaven full of bureaucracy. 1976 need not be a year of gloom and doom. but a time to work together in resolving our problems and reducing our uncertainties. a year to make good judgments helpful to Ontario.
