There were the additional millions the two companies paid to various suppliers in Atlantic Canada.

There was the hard-to—measure, but very real way in which these dollars stimulated the overall economy of the region.

This economic stimulation will be even greater if we can take full advantage of the ZOO—mile fisheries management zone.

For instance. it is estimated that if we in Canada realize our full potential and become the largest fish exporting country in the world. the east coast fishing industry will provide up to l0.000 additional jobs. Economists further estimate that for each newjob in the fishing industry, up to L4 additional jobs will be created as a spin-off effect. For Canada as a whole. taking advantage of the opportunity will mxean more exports. a stronger dollar and a reduction in regional disparity.

To realize fully the benefits of the ZOO-mile zone. we need federal govemment policies or modified policies in a number of areas.

We need policies that will maintain a fair and reasonable balance between the inshore and the offshore fishery. We need policies that will bring about the gradual reduction of the foreign catching effort in our ZOO-mile zone.

We need policies that will encourage replacement and expansion of the inshore and offshore fleets. and the creation ofa Canadian-owned and operated fleet of trawlers with freezing and on-board processing facilities.

Y

Until we remove the uncertainty from these and other policy areas, many of the benefits of the ZOO-mile zone will not be available to us. We will continue to see a large foreign fishing fleet in our waters —— perhaps for all time.

‘As interested and concerned organizations involved in

fishing. National Sea Products Limited and HE. Nickerson & Sons Limited would like Canadians to know more about our industry and the important economic opportunity it offers. For additional information please write to:

Similarly Chang was in his sister's store only because a regular enployee failed to arri and the store had to be opened to allow the mm to make delivery After Chang opened the store, two youngsters entered, placed 15 cents on the counter, and took some candy.

The Nova Scotia 'adjudicatcr who ordered him out of the country ignored the concept, ruling that duties per- formed by Chang were on for which one normally expects to be paid.

Accordin' g to Labrakos‘ solicitor, there is a wi area of case law which supported the Iabrakos argurrents and should support the (hang case.

In order for me to be employed, he said, it is necessary that certain conditions be met,- sudr as regular hours, regal pay, regular gmzemtent deductims, and some so of a "master-servant relationship".

.As for the [aspect of the Immigration Act whi refers to activity for which "a person may reasmably be expected receive valuable ccnsi aticn" , the Ontario solicitor asked, "Would you expect to be paid f helping your sister?"
