| | The structure of the labour movement is not unlike that of the Commonwealth. | | | Just as the Canadian Labour Congress is the central body for a large number of unions in Canada, so we also have an international organization--the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions--to which various national organizations belong. | | | When a platform of principles was adopted by the Trade and Labor Congress in Winnipeg in 1898, the first item was "free compulsory education". |

| | The new policy calls for Canadian equity levels that are, at least, proportional to Canadian use, when equivalent services are not available from Canadian service providers. | | | As the senior executives of major Canadians companies shared their vast knowledge of infrastructure development, they were in turn confronted by the enlightened and imaginative views of academics, creators, consumers, teachers or independent business people whose perspectives were often radically different. | | | However, what we are entitled to expect, as are all Canadians, is that the government not relent in its determination to make the building of Canada's communications and information infrastructure one of our national priorities, as stated in its January 1994 Speech from the Throne. |

| | : Mourning Dennis McDermott, a leader of working people |
| | McDermott played a prominent role in articulating the key elements of the CLC program for economic and social reform and was instrumental in mobilizing the resources of the Canadian labour movement in combatting wage controls and wage concessions in the public and private sectors. | | | A challenge to Canada& system by the medical profession and some right-of-centre provincial governments evoked a strong response from the Canadian Labour Congress through the formation of a vigorous citizens’ coalition. | | | Later, in response to the horrendous burden of oppressively high interest rates which created unprecedented unemployment and economic chaos throughout Canada, McDermott emerged as a leading spokesman for a broad-based coalition calling for fundamental changes in Canadian economic and social policies. |
