Among other things, women are tired of
working “double days for haif the pay.”

Research has shown men work on
average 55 hours a week inside and outside
the house, compared with 63 hours for
women. This figure increases by two to
three hours a week for each young child

OTTAWA (CP) — It is
more important to have a
Canadian-made culture
than a Canadian-set price
for crude oil, the annual
banquet meeting of the
Canadian Conference of
the Arts was told Thur-
sday. ‘

And Communications
Minister Francis Fox drew

‘ hearty applause for saying

‘fourth annual —~

just what delegates had
spent the whole day trying
to put into concrete terms.

Delegates grumbled
over a fuzzy statement of
conference strategy

‘calling for culture to be put
back .on the national —

proposals for government
action to aid the arts. The
proposals will be reviewed
at the annual meeting's
final session today.

Fox was making his
and
perhaps last — report on
the progress of govern-
ment cultural affairs
policy to delegates
representing 600 national
and - local arts
organizations and as many
individual artists, ad-
ministrators and patrons.

He spoke of “the end of a

before the arts conference

But Fox also spoke as
though policy development
will .continue along the
lines he has set: A new film

policy is ta be announced
by the end of May and he
said the government will
press ahead as soon as it
can with a revision of
copyright law.

A few hours before the
banquet, Fox told the
Commons committee on
communications and
culture that the cultural
industries now account for
one per cent of Canada's .

much as chemicals, tex-

ched last July 1 has.
