My department will do its best to assist. . pero seseg Dae oe Pato ple FEDERAL EX- PENDIURES IN FORESTRY This might be a good time to mention the Federal contribution to our Forest resource. I belleve there have been some misconceptions, While it is true that the CanadianForestry Service budget ig only about $34 million, it by no means. represents the total of federal epending for the forest sector. The Department of Reglonal Economie Expansion will epend aobut $70 Million is year in support of the forestry sector. Northern Affairs will d nearly $12 million. Agriculture. and Em- ployment and Im- migration each spend about $2 million, and Industry, Trade and Commerce puts in $3 million. ; It is hard to get a total: for federal support of the forest sector, because accounting . procedures are not designed to allow for a break-out of that figure. But for the coming ‘year, Ottawa probably. spend $120 million. We. might get a discussion olng on whether federal _ , rograms are properly coarse of viele at spending is go the best use =a Ihave some thoughts on that — but. the federal con- tributionis far from negligible Cee FORESTRY I'm on. the _ subject of Ottawa and the Forest sector, I would like to mention the ‘CanadianForesty Service. The Service's reduction -in staff and ‘resources since 1968 has caused some concern in forestry cirlees that its ‘capability is being eroded. I want to assure you now that I have no in- tention of downplaying the role of the Canadian Forestry service. If economic restrainst make further cuts-in my department necessary, 1 intend to make sure that ‘the Canadian Forestry Service does not suffer, | . want to. see Its’: role rd -their ‘diminished, I hope that it Indian: enhanced, in recognition of the high priority I lace on the Canadian crest resource, I can promise you that under my ministry, the CanadianForestry rvice is in no ler of appearing. I think they - are a great group of people who are making a real contribution to an area I consider one of my highest priorities. There is no way that I would see contribution will be just the opposite. POLICIES AND THE FOREST CON- SITIUENCEY Before'I conclude my remarks, there is one other area I would like to speaic about. I know some the basics of forestry from my university days, hut net enoy, an audience like this one in technical terms. But there is one field that I think touches: upen the . Forestry sector in a ve important way, and it happens to be a field that I DO have some ex- perience in. I'm talking about politics, — - _ When you put aside the techinical aspects of forest management, you nd that the real con- straints are the basic ones of Economics, In- stitutions, and polltics. Professor Armson, of the University of. Toronto, recently put his finger on | the roots of the when he sald’ recognition of the need for forest management is a cultural — and roblem ‘therefore political — | question... Canada is essentially an. urban society, Canadians are mostly uninformed about. . he commercial aspects of ‘forestry. Those who are not completely unin- _terested in ‘;the forest industry. are often ac- tively hostile towards it.’ The concepts’ of forest management — as op- ed to romantic notions | ased on. Smokey the Bear commercials — are alien to the city dweller’s culture. So the problem is not just'a matter of getting meaningful forest management going: The it the ook forest industry and the forestry profession must create a constituency, as other economic sector groups have gcuccesefully lone. Frankly, I thin most foresters are far too naive about the political ocess and how it affects em. As somebody once remarked when asked how important palltics is: it’s just slightly less important that the continued beating of your heart But foresters are wn- fortunately inclined to see political con- . Siderations as a hin- drance to their getting on with the job, rather than recognizing the political process as the only means by which they wil get the people and tlie money to do what needs to talk to to be d e done. Tam tempted to use the obvious line about not being able to see the forest for the trees, but I will refrain, - , But to get down to brass tacks, the — federal Department of Fisheries and the Environment spends some. $135 million on fisheries managment and research and only §34 million on ;the forest resouree.

Toronto teen suicides increase 3,500 tried in 1977 each yeat and there are more than 100 deaths from these attempts, one for every secondary school in Metro,” Judge Fisher said. The Hospital for Sick Childten in. Toronto recently conducted a study into 506 attempted suicides amoug teen- agers brought to the hospital between 1970 and 1977 ~and found the average age of the younsters was 14, he said. Judge Fisher said the hosptial report cited school problems as. the cause of 48 per cent of the attempts and 18 per cent were the result of sexual or physical abuse. - The report also said 38 per cent of the children came from homes with psychiatric problems and 20 per cent of them had an alcoholic parent. Fisher said that unless evidence can be produced in court of gross physical or emotional abuse by parents, family court judges are powerless to remove the younsters who are in danger fromtheir parents. “Parents resent any kind of interference and the only £ can force parents to undergo psychiatric help is by ta away child until they submit to treatment,” he said. 2a ‘more specific information, during regular | -' business hours at the Municipal Hall.
