Each entry identifies the title, year produced, Intended audience, producer, source, rental fee, nurchase price, physical description, synopsis of the film or audiovisual, and evaluation of the item.

This distinction, however, does not signify a blanket recommendation of the items for any or all occasions. The audience and the purpose for using the audiovisuals should continue to be key factors to consider, even though the materials come with special recommendations. On page 49 of this publication the Council lists additional recommended films. Reports on these films are not yet available but will appear in future supplements ofDrug Abuse Films.

This includes those items categorized "scientifically unacceptable" under the original terms of the contract, as well as some materials viewed after use of this category was discontinued.

Films, filmstrips, tapes and records can needs (to review the extent of drug use in this country), increase knowledge; they can broaden perspectives, induce don't use the film.

    Party Name General Comments 1 Bloc Québécois 2 Conservative Party 3 Green Party 4 Liberal Party 5 NDP 6 People’s Party 7 Animal Protection Party We are a small party. Our candidates and supporters see education for everyone as an important public investment. We advocate for fully funded public education from kindergarten to post graduate studies. I think our goal of removing barriers financial and otherwise ensures that all citizens in Canada can fully participate in all aspects of life in our nation. I think this answers your questions although not the detailed implementation of such a proposal. If we were in power we would research how other countries have implemented such programmes and what best practices exist that would provide guidance as to how to best implement such a programme. Below is our education platform from our web site. Sincerely, Liz White, Leader Animal Protection Party of Canada Party Name General Comments INVESTING IN THE PUBLIC, AS A WHOLE APPC proposes that education be considered a public investment in the nation as a whole, and be fully funded from kindergarten to post-graduate levels including advanced skill training in non- academic fields. For example, removing financial barriers would ensure that most citizens, regardless of personal or family circumstances, could fully participate in and contribute to the economic, cultural, and political life of the nation. It would also ensure that citizens could transition from career to career as necessary. Countries such as Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, France, Belgium, Greece, and Spain offer various types of free education to both citizens and foreign students.

Takis Papatsonis of the Academy of Athens "The whole collection is held in the same tone, the same deeply moved aware­ ness of the function of poetry and of the "being" of man, that unspeakable loneliness." George Themelis "[Poems] very Greek. Rich. A scintillation of the potentialities of our lan­ guage, and a symphony of the grace and joy of sound ...
