“The uncertainly of the world
situation and the

factors. which will influence
-business int British Columbia:
during the next year, according

‘to Employers’ Council of BC
‘president Willlam Hamilton. °
“While BC is certainly affected
by the world energy crisis,”
‘Hamilton said, “the course’ of
labour nianagemen? relations
will probably be the dominant
factor in determining the day to
_ day .business activity of the
province,” Hamilton made the
‘remarks in. a year-end
the
Council. .

1974 will be the heaviest
bargaining year in the
province's history with over 400
contracts affecting two-thirds of

rthe unionized labour. force up |

are, three factors which will

“OUTLOOK

“this may wark lo BC's ad-

‘vantage in that we will process

‘materials rather than export
‘he raw product; the short term
cullcok, however, is for some
decrease in this area.” At the
same time, there is (he potential
problem of a lack of. ships to
transport our geads as the
emphasis in shipbuilding - is
directed toward the production
of cil carriers rather than cargo
carriers. :

The energy crisis itself,
rather (han alarming us, should
be viewed as an opportunity for
Canada, We are one of the few
resource rich countries in the
world. We have a highly
educated population aand a
skilled labour. force. Food
supplies are arnple; energy
supplies are sufficient.
Fechnolagy is readily. ac-
cessibla.. We have. the
potential for further develop-

ment and further processing of
our - resources, ai

all times
ensuring thal ihe environmen!
and quality of life we enjoy are
not destroyed. “We have a
challenge to keep a-sense of
“proportion toward the ‘crisis’,
and transform this potential
intoreality,” said Hamilton. On
balance, while we cannol expect
the same booming prosperity
which marked 1973, there is as
yet no reason lo anticipale a
downturn in economic matters
in British Calumbia.’ ts
li the energy crisis continue:
beyond -the first. quarter,
huwever, economic condilions
will deleriorate:; The Council's
‘prediciions..eve based on the
Middie East situation being
resolved -by political means
within three to six months,
Inflation, an- international
probiem, will certainly continue
into 1974.81 lavels comparable

1973. Price inflation in Canada
alone could well be higher than

prafits will decline substantially
as u percemage of ihe GNP,
both in real and current terms,
“tn absolute terms, we also. see

them declining slightly from

this year’s’ figures,” said
Hamillon. 2 .
Supply problems, not only of
energy, bul of other. key™
resources . will play an. im-
portant role in 1974, Dramatic
though the energy crisis is, il is

a strong year for-the con-

. ‘struction industry. because of

the buoyancy af the residential
marke, the. service seclor,
government, and utilities, the
 Couneil. said.

‘The Council. does not forecast
uo sirong increase in the
unemployment rate in 1974, If
present labour - force growth
rales continue in BC, half a
million new jobs must be found

within the nex! nine years, ‘We

call upon the government to
work with industry: toward the
establishment of an industrial
policy for the province to ensure
that these jobs are ayuilable.”

provide an allgactive location -

the situation somewhat, but the

‘major new provincial forestry
Tegulalions “cloud “prospects.

Thera is'a similar picture in the
mining industry with no major
new mines planned or com-
mitied, The government's
delay ‘in introducing mining
royalty regulations has nol
instilled confidence in this

- sector.

Politially, the province has

experienced its first fulf year of
NDP rule; 160 new government
acts covering every segmen! of
the p ovince were passed in two
legislalive sessions. ‘My
personal feeling is that the
government is proceeding (oo
_tapldly in its zeal for change,”
commented Mr. - Hamilton.
“Government intervention in
many sectors of Ihe economy,
from insurance to forestry,
erodes business confidence an
retards development + of long
term undertakings.”
. Business wishes to co-operate
with government and realizes
ihal new techniques and ap-
proaches will have to ve
developed in- this regard, said
Hamilton. ‘We are fearful,
however, that the iremeadous
pressures which are developing
inlernationally) and’ nationally
will be used by governments as
a ralionale to invade the private
seclor lo an unreasonable
degree. It is our hope that in-
dusiry and government can
together, and plan
iopether, jo averl ‘this hap-
pening.”
