The committee is currently
touring the province to try and
find ways to incorporate farm
laborers and domestics under
labour protection in (he
province. : . .
What’ they heard from those
present, In’ essence, that the
need was greal for such in-
clusion. Fish spoke of domestic
laborers who were working for
$30 a. month plus room and

As it presently stands farm:
laborers ‘and domestic help
have no protection under any of
the numerous labour acts on the
B.C, statule books.

Another suggestion put to the
cammittee was that despite
existing legislation, people
could not benefit because. they
were. unaware of — their
protection. It was suggested
that in order. to defeat this,
education an labour laws be
included in the school system. -

harm, On that occasion we
offered the professional opinion
of experienced citizen
businessmen,. Next week we
will try once again and
recommend a five point
programme which in our
opinion will sustain em-
ployment levels.

(1) Immediate application of
minimum stumpage under the
stipulation il remain in force

until a fair, workable
assessment system is
established,

(2) Establish: a system of

" dealing with cutting permils so

they are settled in two months

“instead ‘of lwe years of maybe-

or-maybe-not uncertainty,
(3) Put a moratorium of one
year on application of the

Logging Guidelines and in thal

period restructure thein so they
are a useful and workable
resource managemeni tool
capable of application within”
the practical realities of
competitive world commerce.
, 4) Amend the forest
utilization standards so loggers
are not saddled with wasteful
expenditures in harvesting
debris that has no ise in the
market place. - 1

(5) Pul restraints on the
pyramiding layers of rules and
‘regulations which day be day
add to the cosl of
without: countervailing . ad-
yanlage to anyone.

As a final point, Association
directars were inslructed to ask
Premier Barrett the question
uppermost on the minds of all
citizen businessmen, namely
“What is Government policy?
Are we lo be driven cul of
exislence, or are we lo be
allowed: to. mainiain a
productive role and a sound
working relationship alongside
the large international com-
panies which need us as much
as we need them?"
