North Shore Ski Swap Now at 1625 Lonadale Ave. 980 1911 AS - Sunday, January 23, 1983 - North Shore News Canada ‘on the skids’ A “RATHER DISMAL” picture of the task con- fronting the Macdonald Royal Commission = on Canada's economic prospects was painted by Employers Council of B.C. president Bill Hamilton Thursday for members of the North Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. “Tt may startle you to learn that I believe the decade of the seventies and the earty eighties have pretty clearly shown that Canada ts on the skids,” he told a- paeked lunchtime meeting of the Chamber. Hamriton was makimg hrs first speech since his own recent appointment to the commission. He stressed that the Commission's respon- sibilities are not to seek soluuons to Canada’s im- mediate economic problems but to “inquire into the report upon thé long-term economic potential, prospects and challenges facing the Canadian federation and its respective regions. “What I think Canadians should be concermed about,” he said, “is that a lengthy period of world prosperity with only short and relatively minor downturns has masked a= shift’ in our Canadian situation, on a comparative basis, from one of gradual basic im- nursing service Uatque ia the North Shore AM cateyortes of Turyes from registered nurses to hamemuakerns for the teroninally all ane elferty SHYLO NURSING TAV provement in our economy to one of gradual, and widely unperceived, deterioration.” Elaborating upon a variety of economic indicators pointing to disturbing trends in the Canadian economy over the last 10 to 15 years, Hamilton singled out productivity .for special attention, “While the decade of the 1970s was) distressing wortdwide as atmost every nauion saw its productivity drop, Canada’s performance was-one of the-worst, tf net the worst, of the developed nations,” Hamilton © said. “Why pomt, simpty put, is merely that while we may be growing in many respects, the rate of that growth 1s neither as satisfactory as it used to be nor as great as most other developed nations. In reality we are falling behind,” he added. “The rather dismal picture I have painted of Canadian library card members * No monthly tees rac PAM 3057 EDGEMONT BLVD NORTH VANCOUVER 986-0346 , When we offer: * Acomplete selection of current and classic films in both VHS and Beta formats * Overnight rentals trom $2.00 with membership and * Video Machine Rentals only $9 95 per night * Convenient video machine and movie reservations tor Pay ONLY FoR THe Movies You ‘ .
