Mr. Robin Philpot: One week before the referendum, the Canadian Jewish Congress in Quebec, the Italian Congress, and the Hellenic Congress held a press conference, as community leaders, calling on their communities, asking their communities, to vote no. They were playing, you might say, the ethnic card.

Our counselling program at Jewish Child and Family Service is growing exponentially in the cultural aspect of counselling, with our multilingual caseworkers, who are counselling not only members of the Jewish community but also refugees from communities all over the world who are in Winnipeg.

It raises and distributes funds within the community for Jewish communal services; it engages in broad-based community planning; and it represents the Jewish community to the general community, governments, and other ethnocultural groups.

I think a maximum should also be given for a community such as the Jewish communities across the country that have the Jewish Child and Family Services or the Jewish Immigrant Aid Services as official offices, with professional case managers and support and programs for host families and integration, because there is a structure that's measurable with outcomes.

Senator Finestone has a long record of community service, including serving as president of la Fédération des femmes du Québec, as vice-president of both Allied Jewish Community Services and the YMYWHA, as well as on the executive council for the " No" during the 1980 referendum.
