Abstract
This paper discusses the common-refrain of the Conference Board of Canada to report that private-sector unions and management are becoming more likely to pull "closer together for the sake of survival" in the newer global economy. The paper points out that in the public sector the Board generally reports that relations are worsening. It continues that despite the fact that strife garners much more in the way of headlines than agreements negotiated good faith, the Board's statement that private-sector unions are making more of an effort to work with employers is ideological in that it creates a spin pressuring unions to reduce demands in the name of tax cuts.

Abstract
The following paper focuses on the way in which the public and private sectors differ as well as what their similarities are. In addition the writer provides examples, applications and implications of each sector and the diversity question. The writer concludes from the research that the public sector leads by example and the private sector often follows the public sectors lead. Thus, it is the writer?s opinion that the public sector has long since mandated the employment and the development of a diverse workforce.
From the Paper
?America is known throughout the world for its open arms regarding diversity. Each year countless immigrants flock to the shores of the nation to begin life anew in a place where they have heard they will receive unconditional acceptance. While it is true in many ways that America has one of the most diverse populations on earth it doesn?t mean there are never any issues when it comes to that diversity. Diversity in the private and public sector of America have different challenges presented as well as challenges that are decidedly similar. The private and public sector have been working on the diversity question for many years and while they run parallel in many ways, they are also walking their own lone path.?

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the housing industry and the Canadian economy by looking at how supply and demand effect housing starts, employment and GDP production and growth. It looks at how housing prices vary from region to region across the country and how the housing market plays a crucial role in the Canadian economy.
From the Paper
"The housing industry in Canada is impacted by fluctuations in the economy and changes in supply and demand. Neoclassical consumer theory is used to demonstrate the relationship between the housing market and the economy. Recent industry and market reports suggest that the Canadian economy is growing at a strong rate and accounting for an increased share of the country's total economic output. Introduction The housing industry is a significant component of the Canadian economy as low mortgage rates and strong growth in employment and personal income have led to an increase in housing demand ("The Canadian Housing" 1)."

Abstract
This paper states that Canadians are overwhelmed with uncertainties about the capacity of their political system to achieve their economic goals. The author believes that the federal state is moving towards neoliberal control, which downgraded economic tasks to lower levels of governance and raised power to the global and continental tiers. The paper describes the many changes that have taken place in the role and organization of the Canadian government to achieve this neoliberal economic policy.
From the Paper
"Since the Canadian government settles trade treaties but can execute them only in areas of its own constitutional jurisdiction, provincial participation has been necessary to realize what are understood to be the profit of liberalized trade. For this reason, Ottawa has encouraged improved provincial participation since the 1970s. In contradiction, an increased provincial function in trade policy has resulted in diminished provincial capability for industrial policy."

Unemployment Insurance and the Canadian Economy, 2006.
An examination of Canada's unemployment insurance program and its effects on the Canadian economy.

Abstract
This paper examines Canada's Employment Insurance (EI) program, which has been largely negative for Canada's economic growth but relied upon by workers. It explains how employers are often penalized for their participation and receive little in the way of financial incentive to generate new jobs or higher salaries. The paper also shows that the Canadian government should equalize the contribution limits of the EI by the employer and the employee, because then employers would receive some reprieve from the financial severity of supporting the majority of the EI programs and services. The writer concludes that the EI is counter-productive to robust economic performance as well as to long-term, stable economic growth.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Canada, as most other leading economies in the West, offers a comprehensive employment related insurance program that provides for work related payment benefits in the event of layoff, job loss or other employment related issue that results in a covered inability to work. Previously, this system in Canada was referred to as the Unemployment Insurance but since 1996 has been simply termed the Employment Insurance (EI) and is a government program overseen by the Human Resources and Skills Development Canada or the HSSDC (Employment, 2006b). EI is very important to the Canadian economy and social services system because Canada relies on a large population of seasonal workers due to the harsher climates in some of its Provinces as well as to some of its seasonal industries."

Abstract
This paper outlines the issues relating to human resource management in the public sector, evaluates probable trends in the field's future and analyzes the efficacy of recent reform efforts. It examines how, in contrast to the private sector marketplace which leads the world in productivity, innovation, and wealth creation because it allows the market influences of free enterprise, competition, risk and reward to find their own equilibrium, the public sector has regulated these factors out of much of its daily business activity. It explores how the public sector health and human resources marketplace must find pathways to embrace these free market principles if it genuinely desires to also be known as a world class provider of goods and services.
Outline:
Introduction: The Public Sector in a Changing Social Environment
The Setting: Competing Views of the Workforce
Political Considerations
Patronage, Civil Service, and Privatization
Techniques for Defining Change
Compensation
Recruitment
Reinventing
The Issues in the Public Sector
Problems for Unions and Management
Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action
Conclusion
From the Paper
"HR managers have been forced to adjust their thinking as well. The tasks which they perform have not changed, but the manner in which they perform their tasks has been revolutionized by computers, the internet, a workforce with a greater average educational level, and a greater level of customers? expectations, and a greater level of government involvement. These forces have also forced a change in the workforce. Many employees, whether in the private or public sector, are no longer content to find a 40 to 45 hour per week job."

Abstract
This article discusses the Australian public sector, in particular with regard to management and leadership issues. The writer looks at management theories and the role of the management within the public sector. The writer claims that as the business world changes, so do theories and concepts related to management. More linear than vertical relationships have been built between managers and employees, and the concept of managing out has become increasingly important. The writer notes that for the Australian public sector, this is a particularly challenging, but also necessary process. The article discusses the relationship between the management and the public sector and the relevant management style.

From the Paper
"Management theories have faced a variety of changes throughout the twentieth century. As the business world is facing the dawn of a new century, it is inevitable that new ways of managing business transactions will also see the light. Managers are thus faced with several challenges related to the new world of business. As a business entity, the Australian public sector is no exception to the managing challenges of the twenty-first century. Indeed, the public sector with its many stakeholders and interested parties, needs to pay particular attention to business and managing practices. These need to be updated to a standard at which the public sector provides the greatest value of service at the lowest cost possible. The purpose of this internal report is therefore to explicate the various ways in which the concept of "managing out" is used in the Australian public sector in order to create optimal value in its services to the public."

Reforms in the Australian Public Sector, 2006.
An examination of current reforms in the Australian public sector.

Abstract
This paper examines reforms recently made in the Australian public sector. The basis of the changes was modeled after the private sector, and building customer satisfaction. This model is analyzed and the various parties identified and discussed. The public sector in Australia and its reform is seen as in process and by no means complete. However, the awareness of paradigm shifts, management perceptions, and the recognition of public needs form a large part of the achievement of the necessary reforms. The Australian public sector, like many other places of business, is changing according to the needs of its times and its public. This is achieved through all levels of management with the collaboration of all stakeholders as one team.
From the Paper
"The managing out imperative, as seen above, has changed according to the changing needs of society and the public. Changing technological paradigms, as well as the increasing integration of the public sector with other service providers, has increased the complexity of public service provision (Mulgan 2004). This is why all managing roles have become vitally important to the success of the entire public sector. Middle managers play an especially important role, as they form the connection between top managers and the lower levels of the public sector on one level, and also between the public sector and its stakeholders and clients.
This is only one of the changes occurring during the last decades of the last century, and the first decade of this one. The very concept of leadership, as seen above, has changed from authoritarian to democratic and collaborative. The gab between public sector culture and public interest is a need that can be addressed by means of middle management."

Smith, Engels and the Canadian Economy, 2002.
Looks at Adam Smith's and Friedrich Engels' views on economic production and its significance to the analysis of the political economy of Canada.

Abstract
This paper will argue that Smith's and Engels' analysis of the economic processes of production, trade and their long term consequences - although radically different in many respects - may provide useful insights to understanding the turbulent economic changes in Canada in the post-Free Trade (NAFTA) era. Moreover, it will be argued that these changes have profound implications for the continuing existence of "Canadian culture" or, indeed, for the survival of Canada itself.

Staples Theory and the Canadian Economy, 2008.

Abstract
This paper examines how, as a basic framework, Melville Watkins' staples theory explains Canadian economic development and the importance of both domestic and external commodity-oriented linkages. The paper further looks at how Watkins' paper first appeared in 1963 as an effort to explain how Canada's economy had developed into a post-World War II era in first flight, unpredictable in its promise of growth.
From the Paper
"If one is able to imagine the early 1960s Canada of which Watkins wrote, one perceives how much did seem built upon patterns established long before, as in the preeminence of Montreal as opposed to Toronto as the principal finance and business centre, and with much business continuing to involve not just Britain but British colonies in the Caribbean region or part of arrangements involving Britain and continental European powers that were engaged in post-World War II reconstruction efforts. Similarly, there were domestic linkages involving commodities and development that were parts of greater linkages involving the United States. Indeed, a helpful aspect of Watkins' paper referred to here is its reminder of how Canada has been shaped by two principal powers, the United Kingdom gradually replaced by the United States and just as it began its post-1945 ascent to world leadership taking the place of Britain.
