For Too Many, To Work Means Having

An Increasing Number Of Canadians Must Juggle The Demands Of Work With The Need To Care For Children, Or For Family Members Who Are Ill Or Too Frail To Care For Themselves. Our Programs Have Simply Not Kept Pace With These Societal Changes.

For Me, Unemployment And Poverty In The Greater Montreal Area Is Not Mainly A Problem Of Structure, Or Design, Or Statistics. It Is A Profoundly Human Situation.

Despite Our High Rate Of Unemployment, 300,000 Jobs Go Unfilled Largely Because Many Of The Unemployed Lack The Skills Needed Today As A Result Of Technological Progress.

We Canadians Are Not Given As A People To Great Patriotic Displays.

The Election Is Not A Time To Discuss Serious Issues.
