(UNITED PRESS
CANADA) A New Demo-
cratic government: would
revitalize the Canadian ship-
building industry and rebuild
‘a strong Canadian merchant
marine, NDP leader Ed
Broadbent says.

Broadbent predicted last

week that 25,000 Canadians
could be employed in “a

world-class industry” if steps:

were taken to. build up the

merchant marine and ensure |.
that tankers and oil rigs used:
in the Arctic were Canadian- —

made.

The federal government
should buy only. Canadian-

made ships and reverse a *

decision to cut back on the

number of fishing vessels, he °

added.

ED BROADBENT |

During his tour of the
Davie Shipyard in Louzon,
Que., Broadbent was
warmly received by French-
speaking workers. He said
later he was “frankly en-
couraged” by his reception,
and said several workers

who traditionally voted
Liberal were now con-
sidering supporting the
NDP

“This is a major trend,” he
said. In the May election,
the NDP only picked up five
percent of the popular vote
in Quebec, and was beaten
in several ridings by the
Rhinoceros Party, which
runs candidates to mock and
ridicule politics.

The NDP has never won a
scat in Liberal-dominated
Quebec.

Before the two-day trip to

wanted to remove Prime

should vote Liberal instead

from losses in Tory support
