CUTBACKS FEARED

THE INDUSTRIAL Developers
Association of Canada (IDAC) is
worried that cutbacks in govern-
ment spending from all levels on
local and regional economic de-
velopment tourism promotion will
offer only short-term gain at the
cost of long-term economic diver-
sification.

“Our members are in the
forefront of diversifying and ex-
panding Canada's economy at the
community and regional levels,”
said IDAC president Malcolm
Harvey. ‘Yet their programs are
often one of the first to be cut
when money gets tight. Just when

they need more money to do big-
ger jobs they get less."’

He added that hundreds of
communities across Canada, both
large and small. have progranis
for economic growth and diver-
sification that are dependent on
support from municipal, srovin-
cial and federal levels of govern-
ment,

If that support is reduced, said
Harvey, there will be a lack of
Tesources to tackle the problems
of attracting new investment,
strengthening local companies and
reducing unemployment.

“The cost of economic devel-
opnient is really an investment in
the future of our communities and
in most cases has a proven record
of success to point to,”’ said
Harvey.

The IDAC is a non-profit pro-
fessional association ‘formed in
1968 to provide education and
professional enhancement for
economic developnient personne!
at the community, provincial,
federal and corporate levels.

It has 450 members across the
country.
