4. WHEREAS day care services are a prerequisite to women's full participation in our society, and WHEREAS cuts are constantly introduced in the day care budgets of various departments and social and community services, and WHEREAS day care services are not well supported by the general public,

• BE IT RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. recommend to Lloyd Axworthy, Minister Responsible for the Status of Women and Minister of Canada's Employment and Immigration Commission that people's needs, not employers' needs, be the priority and that this priority be reflected in employment policy, for example, by providing day care services at the training site, in schools and in community colleges.
  
  
• BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. pressure all appropriate authorities to allocate sufficient funds for the introduction and upkeep of day care services.
  
  
• That the benefits of day care services be advertised immediately to inform and change the attitude of the general public.

5. WHEREAS the Canadian Government undertook to provide paid maternity leave at the 1980 Copenhagen Convention,

• BE IT RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. convey immediately to the Canadian Union of Professional and Technical Employees (translator unit) our support for their present fight for 17 weeks of maternity leave at full salary and further that we request Mount St. Vincent University to consider sending a similar message of support for the translators' position.

6. WHEREAS women are under-represented in non-traditional work areas,

• BE IT RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. will recommend ways for provincial and federal governments to support women's work in non-traditional jobs such as by
  
  offering tax incentives to companies who provide apprenticeship programs for women and/or continuing educational programs;
  
  tying any government funding going to corporations to the number of apprenticeship and/or continuing education programs designed specifically for women.
  
  
• BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. approach trade unions to urge them to accept a larger number of women in apprenticeship jobs.

7. WHEREAS entrance requirements to C.E.I.C. (Canada Employment and Immigration Commission) programs are often determined by gender and not by skills and aptitudes needed for success on the job,

• BE IT RESOLVED that C.C.L.O.W. will recommend to C.E.I.C. that tests administered to C.E.C. (Canada Employment Centers) retraining applicants be non-differentially graded so that men and women are assessed equally.
  
  
• That C.E.I.C. train special counsellors to serve the particular needs of re-entry women, with emphasis on sensitivity to the individual problems these women face.
  
  
• That C.E.I.C. appoint more women as apprenticeship counsellors and that all apprenticeship counsellors be sensitized to the specific needs of women entering the trade occupations.
