glimpse of life on the farm. Plans are underway for the third year of the
countryside tour which has been expanded from Clarington & Scugog to

visitors to our area are anticipated. This presents a unique opportunity for
agriculture and participating municipalities to work together through
sponsorship. Their sponsorship program gives five options to promote

Alex Shepherd, M.P., Durham with respect to a resolution passed by the
Municipality ofClarington concerning the Employment Insurance Act and
benefits being received by those not working. He advises that this is part
of a campaign being conducted by the Canadian Labour Congress and that
the figures are misleading; these figures include those who are not
normally covered and do not contribute to the system. The congress'
unemployed figures include self-employed individuals who do not pay
premiums, and thus would not be eligible to collect benefits in any case.
The Employment Insurance Act has been amended and many part-time
and seasonal workers who were eligible before, are finding difficulty now
qualifying. The reasoning behind some ofthis was that the system had
become an income support system and subject to abuse. The Act currently
encourages workers to attain maximum number of hours of work and thus
workers would want to seek additional hours of employment. This was
not true of the previous system. He further advises that by switching from
weeks to hours we recognized the importance of workers who may, in
fact, have more than one job. This has helped, especially female workers,
attain coverage. In short, no review of the current system is necessary and
furthermore, the representations made are not entirely accurate.
