Adjusting to win : report of the Advisory Council on Adjustment.: C2-116/1989E-PDF

"The report of the Council comprises four parts. The first part, "Canada Today," reviews the main features, strengths, and weaknesses of the Canadian economy. Particular reference is made to Canada's relatively successful adjustment to changing economic conditions to the present day. The challenges ahead, however, will require, on an urgent basis, a change in attitude on the part of all Canadians. The second part, "People issues," examines the implications of current demographic and technological changes on labour market requirements, and focuses on education and retraining as the keys to a successful future. Chapters on a strategy for constantly upgrading the skills of the work force and sharing the challenges of adjustment between labour and management form the core of the report. The third part, "Corporate Issues," discusses the importance of technological innovation, appropriate taxation, access to financing, removal of interprovincial barriers, and export development efforts as essential elements of successful adjustment to the new trading environment. The fourth part, "Specific Industry Issues," makes recommendations regarding the particular adjustment problems of industries producing and using poultry, dairy, fruits and vegetables, and wheat products, as well as the Canadian wine industry"--The Council's Report, pages xv-xvi
