The federal government was urged to withdraw Canadian support of NORAD and the Canadian Labor Congress was called upon to use its influence to see to it that the government listens to the wishes of the Canadian people. This action came at a recent meeting of the Toronto Labor Council. The demands by the Toronto Labor Council reinforce the demand made by the CLC at its last convention and the stand taken by the B.C. Federation of Labor ‘ and various labor councils in the province. The federal government is to decide on the renewal of the NORAD pact by May 12, 1975. In the debate that ensued on the resolution at the Toronto Labor Council, it became obvious that the federal government has already made a decision to remain in NORAD. Art Jenkyn, a delegate to the council from the United Electrical Workers Unjon read a letter that George Harris, national secretary-treasurer of UE received from the office of the prime minister. important component of this policy.” In the debate that followed the reading of the letter, several delegates attacked the prime minister for making policy statements without ‘‘even the semblence of consultation or acknowledgement of the wishes of | the Canadian people.” Opposition to the NORAD agreement is growing across Canada as many groups and in- dividuals from all walks of life are speaking out against Canada’s continued participation in an agreement which is of no value to Canada and only ties us to the U.S. with dangerous and harmful results for Canada. However, the Canadian government appears determined to continue in the arrangement with the U.S., despite the fact that vast changes have taken place which render NORAD out of date.

The president of the Congress told the prime minister and the 200 labor leaders in the room, ‘“‘labor is the one section in society which cannot set its own price’ and compared the decline in real. in- comes of the workers to the rapid increase in corporate profits. Morris stressed the ‘‘power of the national and multi-national corporations” as one area that the government is going to have to seriously look at. He particularly singled out for reference the United Aircraft Corporation in Quebec and was critical of the government’s $15 million gift-to the company at a time when the UAW members had been on strike for some time. Morris particularly condemned those sections in society who are divert attention from the real causes of unemployment.” In another part of his presen- © tation, Morris also said that as far as he was concerned ‘“‘any tax concessions have to start at the bottom. Jobs have been created, but not fast enough, and there is a need to create secondary industry and labor-intensive tertiary in- dustry in this country as a means of preventing even deeper levels of unemployment.” He attacked the government’s methods of taxation and said ‘“‘tax concessions going to those at the top of the social The labor body reiterated its support for a form of guarante annual income but said it shoul not replace social insurance programs such as unemployment insurance and government pension plans. all workers; both organized an unorganized, should be fully in- ! dexed in relation to increases in the © consumer price index.
