Quebec Refuses Participation in New Safety Centre
Quebec will not join Canada’s new occupational health and safety centre and seeks reimbursement for its share of federal spending. Denis Lazure said the project intrudes on provincial jurisdiction, especially education, and could cause federal provincial duplication and waste. A Quebec white paper on safety is planned for cabinet in August.

Job creation must surge to cut Canada’s unemployment
Statistics Canada warns high unemployment, especially among youths, requires rapid job growth. Between 1970-76 Canada added 260000 jobs per year, but 1975-77 averaged 190000. To bring unemployment to 6 percent by 1986, annual creation of 225000 to 340000 jobs is needed depending on targets and timeframes.
