22. Various commentators point to three objectives: growth, stabilization and equity. However, as Dupré notes, the goal of stabilization–the absorption of the unemployed into training when unemployment rates are high–can be pursued either with relation to growth or equity. He points out that it is between growth and equity that the more fundamental choice exists, and so the Manpower Program can be said to have dual objectives. See J. Stefen Dupré et.al., Federalism and Policy Development, (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1973), p. 116-117.
