The RECORD—Thursday, November 1, 1990—B3 10 years later: Paradis continues political climb By Sharon McCully BROMONT — Some call him a political Goliath; local supporters have dubbed him a modern-day David; his friends just call him Pierre.Four months after his 30th birthday, the young Bedford lawyer — son of a hard-working laborer — took the bold step of entering provincial politics.In a by-election Nov.17, 1980, Pierre Paradis was elected to the National Assembly to represent the riding of Brome Missisquoi.He was re-elected the following April in a general election.It didn’t take long for the young politician and former Ottawa University football player to begin emerging as a rising star of the Liberal party — even in opposition.As opposition critic for finance, and later for social affairs under Liberal leader Claude Ryan, Paradis began his ascent to the top ranks of political power in Quebec.READY FOR LEADERSHIP By the time Claude Ryan resi- gned as Liberal leader in 1982, Paradis, then 32, was ready to enter the race for the party leadership.A recycled Robert Bourassa who had left politics in 1976 after being defeated at the polls by the Parti Québécois, would be his toughest competition.At the 1983 leadership convention in Quebec City, the young Bedford politician was the sentimental favorite.His earthy, passionate address to delegates tugged at their emotions.But not quite hard enough to pull him ahead of frontrunner Robert Bourassa.The Liberal Party needed a more seasoned politician to face off against René Lévesque in the next general election.Mostly, they were looking for a politician who could restore economic confidence to Quebec.Robert Bourassa was considered the man for the tough political road ahead, and he delivered with a Liberal victory at the polls in December 1985.The new premier promptly appointed Paradis Labor Minister in the Liberal cabinet.ESCAPED UNSCATHED During the 30 months that followed, Paradis demonstrated he was capable of handling the thorny labor and income security portfolio, escaping relatively unscathed poli-tically.Unhappy welfare recipients even leveled their criticism at Bourassa for reforms to the welfare act introduced by Paradis, calling welfare inspectors Bou-bou macoutes.In 1988, Paradis assumed responsibility for Municipal Affairs at a time new powers and responsibilities were being delegated to municipalities through regional municipal councils (MRC’s).The young politician-not yet 40 contemplated dropping out of politics prior to the last provincial election to spend more time with his family.The father of two young children, Francois and Helene, Paradis left the deciding vote to his wife Anne.Brome Missisquoi voters responded to his decision to remain in po- litics by returning him to the National Assembly with a healthy majority.A month later he was named Environment Minister in Bourassa's cabinet.Critics say the portfolio will be a test of his strength in cabinet.ACCOUNTABILITY Paradis kicked off his first year as Environment Minister vowing to inject accountability into Quebec’s haphazardly structured environment department.He was openly critical of top level bureaucrats within the department and argued publicly with the Premier over the choice of deputy minister.Local liberals say Paradis prides himself in selecting loyal and hard working people to work for, and with him.“He is such a hard worker, you have to work hard too if you’re going to be around him,” one aide to Paradis said.“He calls before eight in the morning and often at eleven at night he’s still at the office.” Paradis admits most noon-hours are spent munching a sandwich at the corner of his desk.He stays in shape hiking and horse back riding with his family on weekends.But never on Saturday mornings.Since he entered politics, Paradis has reserved Saturday mornings for constituents.“It’s my cardinal rule,” he says.“Once I start making exceptions, I will lose touch with the people who elected me.” At a fund-raising dinner this week to celebrate his 10 years in politics, there remained just a hint of the young Bedford lawyer who went Quebec 10 years ago to represent Brome Missisquoi.Party supporters saw instead a powerful cabinet minister who has proved he can deliver the goods-most of the time.And at a time when world focus is on the environment, Pierre Paradis not only represents the interests of this riding, the whole province will be watching his performance.

The RECORD—Thursday, November 1, 1990—B5 Sofie leaves her mark on Eastern Townships By Sharon McCully BROMONT— Sofie is only three years old and has already left a mark on the community.Sofie is the Townships Corporation for Industrial Training, or in French, from which the acronym is derived.Société de Formation Industrielle de L Es trie Inc.Sofie is a coalition of education, industrial, and government partners, all working towards the sme objective: the training of individuals for the labor market.“The training in new technologies has become the rule rather than the exception“commented Pierre Bisaillon, president of Sofie and plant manager of Canadian General Electric in Bromont.“The characteristics required in modern indusrty must be backed up by custom tailored training programs,"he added.Enter school boards.TURNED TO SCHOOLS School boards are in the business of educating, but it is only recently that industry has turned to school boards for the training of adults already employed.Jean McMaster, president of So-fie’s advisory board says there is a correlation between institutional training and industrial performance.Citing Japan as an industrial leader, M c Master says schooling may be a key factor in that success.“In Japan, 99.7 percent of the population has the ability to read, in the United States, it is 80 per cent, and 76 per cent in Canada,” McMaster said.“A Japanese student spends 57 percent more time in class than a Canadian student,” he added.Last year, in co-operation with the District of Bedford School Board and the Davignon Board, Sofie trained 1790 people, 1648 of whom were already employed.A further 142 people were trained to fill a manpower shortage in the labor force.TOOLS AND SKILLS "With free trade and increased competition, industry must provide its workers with the tools and skills to be competitive,” Bisaillon said.“We have to equip the labor force with the latest technology if we are to survive,” he said.School boards obtained permission from the Education ministry last year to provide a diploma program in machine tooling and industrial mechanics following requests from local industries for trained workers in the field.The federal government has funded the training center to the tune of $2.3 million over the last three years.And to make sure they were getting bang for their buck, the go-vernment hired investment consultants to do an independent evaluation of the program and to monitor its compliance with the contract.In his annual report.consultant Peter Biddings concluded the government has made a sound investment.Although the actual training provided in the first year of the project was 45 per cent less than expected, Giddings said this was due to an underestimation in the time it would take to organize.By year two.the program was nearly on line with its projected number of training hours and by the third year of operation, Sofie had surpassed even its own projections by 22 per cent."Sofie has done an excellent job in fulfilling its mandate, and has made an important contribution to the economic growth and prosperi-ty of the region," Giddings concluded "As a result of these training programs.there are increased oppor-tunities for higher paid employ men.” NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS OF WATERLOO Very Well Known In His Town MARCEL GUILLEMEÏÏE Is Your CANDIDATE FOR SEAT #4 OF THE NORTH WARD 1- HIS STRENGTHS Initiative, Tenacity, Honesty.2- HIS EXPERIENCE Construction (plumbing & heating) Municipal Finance (S.E.W.)
