The program's glossy, 31-page first annual report released this week makes good reading and is good polities, but the program is a failure, the Etobitoke-Cen- tre MP says. “The bottom line in the whole business is what's the level of unemployment today and what's happened during the course of these things. “The level of unemployment is higher. The unem- ployment rate has gone from 11.1 per cent to 11.4 per cent. It's great polities to make it look like you're doing a lot of these things but the bottom line is more people are out of work, so it's obviously not working.” In fact, when the program was introduced in April 1983, the number of unemployed was 1.57 million and the jobless rate was 12.5 per cent. A year later, the rate was down slightly to 11.4 per cent — climbing back from a low of 11.1 per cent at the end of 1983 — and the number of unemployed was down but still high at 1.47. million.

The victory earned Nav- ratilova a $1 million bonus from the International Ten- nis Federation.

MONTREAL (CP) — Mario Lemieux, Canada’s junior player of the year, whom many call the best prospect since Wayne Gretzky, was the No. 1 overall pick by P th Py as d at the National Hockey League entry draft Saturday. . And'yemieux, 18, a native Montrealer, showed up at the Forum to revel in being the first francophone Quebecer selected No. 1 since Montreal Canadiens chose Guy Lafleur in 1971. Lemieux bad said he didn’t want to smile for a national. television audience and put on the Penguins’ sweater because he believed it woudl be hypocritical to do #0 while he is in the midst of a contract hassle with Pittsburgh general. manager Eddie Johnston. But Gtis Badali; the agent for Lemieux, said there was some movement in contract talks before the draft. He added that a decision was made to have Lemieux attend the Session, but.he would stay seated in the crowd. because he still felt uncomfortable about approaching the Penguins’ table. “| didn't go to the table because I'm not sure they -want me,” said Lemieux. “Their scout tried to get me to go, as I guess you saw, but I didn’t feel wanted to go there right now.” Badali said he was still looking for « bonus clause tied to attendance at Pit! games. with a home If Lemieux can’t come to terms with Pittsburgh, his only real options would be to play in Europe or return to junior, neither of which he really wants to do. Lemieux scored 133 goals, beating Lafleur's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League record, and totalled 282 points, breaking the previous record by Pierre Larouche. He carried Laval Voisins to the Memorial Cup tournament where he was named Major Junior Hockey player of the year. Canadian Olympic star Kirk Muller and U.S. Olympian Ed Olezyk were picked second and third by New Jersey Devils and Chicago Black Hawks, respec- tively, after a pair of deals involving Los Angeles Kings. The Black Hawks sent goaltender Bob Janecyk to the Kings as well as the sixth overall pick in exchange for the Kings’ pick, No. 8 overall. The Black Hawks algo sent their ‘third rquiid choice to Los Angeles and agréed to swap fourth-round picks with the Kings. < Olezyk flayed a season for Stratford Juniot B jin Ontario ‘before joining Team USA last season where he scored 21 goals and had 47 assists for 68 points in 62 games, Moller split his season between Canada's Olympic, team and Piaters of the Ontario Hockey Leagie, © witere he seored 81 goals and totalled 94 points in 49 games. s With the No. 6 pick he got from the Black Hawks, Los Angeles general Rogie Vachon chose Craig Penguins pick Mario Lemieux in draft Redmond, a stalwart defenceman with Canada’s Olympic team. Redmond, rated fourth overall by the NHL's Central Scouting Registry, had’ sent-a letter to Toronto Maple Leafs saying he didw’t want them to draft him. That apparently was. enotigh to convince Toronto general manager Gerry MeNamara, because he selected U.S. Olympic star Al Isfrate, another when he Savard traded veteran goaltender Rick Wamsley and Montreal's second and third choices to St. Louis for pick No. 8 and the Blues’ second-round choice. With the eighth pick, Savard chose Shayne Corson, a centre in the mould of Quebec Nordiques’ feisty Dale Hunter. : Corson scored 25 goals and had 46 assists and 165 minutes in penalties in 66 games with Brantford chose fourth. ss Canadiens general manager Serge Savard prompted a flurry of applause fromthe 6,000 Forum fans when he chose Czechoslovakian Ggfector Peter Svoboda, a speedy, 18-year-old defenceman. : Savard had said he wanted guarantees that the former Czech junior national team member was actually in Montreal before he'd draft him. He got them. “T left Czechoslovakia sttigtly to play in the NHL.” said Svoboda, who quickly dogined a Canadiens sweater for the cameras. “I knew three@ays ago that Montreal was going to select me.” , Unknown to anyone, Svoboda: in Montreal on A of the OHL last season. Savard expects Corson to add punch to Montreal's attack, which lacked a sniper last season. Pittsburgh, which had earlier acquired the No. 9 pick from Winnipeg Jets in a trade for defenceman Randy Carlyle, selected rearguard Doug Borger from Kamloops Junior Oilers of the Western Hockey League. Bodger, six-foot-two, 200-pounder, had 98° points, including 21 goals for Kamloops, who went to the Memorial Cup tournament. Jean-Jacques Daigneault, another member of Canada’s Olympic team, was the 10th player chosen, going to Vancouver Canucks. Daigneault, who also.played for Longueuil Chev- aliers of the QMJHL, might have been a higher pick but he suffered torn ligaments in his right knee during the playoffs against Laval.
