Sustaining Progress: Statements.

 

There is a price to be paid for everything. We, as public representatives, have to continuously enforce the principles behind the social partnership. As Senator O'Toole said, it is a quid pro quo; it is a partnership deal. We must make ourselves more productive in return for the demands made on the economy in regard to wage increases. I hope this social partnership agreement will be embraced in good spirit. Social partnership has served the country well in recent years and, if embraced, Sustaining Progress will be the cornerstone for our future economic success.
