Report from

Bob Skellv Yn,,p M a

The governnent I s Thi rd Quarter ly F inan-c ia l Report last week revealed two impor-Eant facts-- the t rue depth of the currentrecess ion , and the to ta l f a i l u re o f Soc redeconomic po l i cy .

In sharp contrast , the NDP employmentproposals out l ined by f inance spokesmanDave S tup i ch demons t ra te a pos i t i ve a l t e r -nat ive to the Socred promise of even greaterunemployment and fur ther cut-backs.

F rom the momen t t hey tab led l as t yea r t ssham budge t , t he Soc reds have a t t emp ted toh ide the ex ten t o f t he recess ion . Ther e a l i t y o f a b u d g e t d e f i c i t i n e x c e s s o f

The repo r t shows tha t t he p rov inc ia l

T h e B r i t i s h C o l u m b i aeconomy has fa l l en f as te r and fu r the r t hana n y o t h e r p r o v i n c e ' s .

The report also shows that the premlerrsrestraint program has fai led to reduce govern-ment spending, and i_ndeed has worsened therecess ion by fo rc ing a t leas t 10 ,000 Br i t i shColumbians i.nto unemployment since last year.

The ma in f ac to r caus ing rhe 91 .4 b i l l i ondef ic i t is not excess government spending,bu t a recess ion - l ed sho r t f a l l i n revenues .True, resource pr ices have fa l len--butB .

The NDP bel ieves greater employment is thekey to economic recovery. To undo thedamage caused by t he p rem ie r r s i 1 l - conce i vedres t ra in t p rog ram the NDP has ou t l i nedma jo r j ob c rea t i on p roposa l s , i nc lud i -ng :

1 . A genu ine commun i t y recove ry and deve l -opmenE p rog ram. Th i s cou ld p rov ide 14 ,000jobs by f und ing mun ic ipa l wo rks p ro jec rscance l l ed by Soc red cu t -backs i n revenuesha r i ng and commun i t y f ac i l i t i es g ran ts .

2. Housing construct ion--an NDP governmentwou ld a t t emp t t o c l ea r t he back log o f app l i -ca t i ons f o r coope ra t i ve hous ' i ng p ro jec t sth rough l ow- in te resc f i nanc ing .

3. Forestry rehabl l l tat ion--an NDPgovernment would restore reforestat lona a ' l c { 1 ' r i a l r l i U 1 ' a n ' ^ t r - G ^

4. Small buslness--an NDP governmentwould expand small business assistanceprograms beyond the L . I .F .T . p rogram. I twould also save exist ing jobs by ppovidingprotect ion for smal l business people forcedinto receivership.

5. Tourism development--a comprehensiveprogram aimed at capltal iz lng upon thetourlsm potent lal of Br l t ish Columbla inworld markets.

This f ive-polnt program would create inexcess o f 25 ,000 jobs over the nex t year .Thatrs three to four t i rnes as many jobs asthe government I s tr^to rnega-pro j ects . Thecos t o f c rea t ing these jobs wou ld be less ,and they would be located throughout theprov ince .

The long-term program of the NDP iscornmit ted ro an industr ial strategy whichwl l1 dlversl fy and strengthen our economy.

The Socred solution which Promotes highunemployrment and large government deficitsis no solutLon at al l . Thelr governmentfsThird Quarterly Report demonstrates thefai lure of thls strategy.

We in the NDP reject this aPProachand offer c lear al ternat ives to provide

employment and real economic recovery.
