Negotiate freer trade or lose. Wise warns
Continued from page 1
countervailing tariff on Canadian
hogs.
Wise asked him what he would
have done under the circum
stances. The producer replied
Canada could have retaliated,
closed the border to U.S. imports.
“And shrink the pork market by
one third?” Wise asked. “Canada
had no control over internal U.S.
decisions, Mr. Wise said but that
was the difference with free trade
negotiations: two parties could sit
down and negotiate and the deal
wasn’t a deal until both were happy
enough to sign.”
The spectre of U.S. shutting out
Canadian farm- produce was held
up by the minister as the reason
Canada must negotiate freer trade
with the U.S. Some commodity
groups have said they don’t want
free trade negotiations, he said,
but they haven’t been in the U.S.
and sensed the growing protec
tionism there is down there, he
said. ‘‘If we don’t secure access to
U.S. markets we could lose one
third of the pork market and
two-thirds of the beef market, ’ ’ he
said.
‘‘If we don’t secure access to U.S.
markets we could lose one third of
the pork market and two-thirds of
the beef market,” he said.
Brenda McIntosh of Seaforth,
asked if, since the herbicide Lasso
had been banned for use by
growers in Canada, soybeans and
other crops on which Lasso and
similar herbicides had been used in
other countries would be allowed to
be imported into Canada.
Mr. Wise said the current review
committee was investigating the
situation surrounding Lasso but
said ‘‘our industry is being watch
ed very closely. We have to stay
tight to the wall about environmen
tal concerns. The risk (regarding
some pesticides rumoured to be
dangerous) aren’t worth taking.”
At this point, he said, there is still
some question as to whether Lasso
will be allowed for use in the U.S.
this ye ar although he believes it
probably will be.
Regarding Prime Minister Mul
roney’s election campaign promise
to double the percentage of Gross
National Product used for re
search, he asked if this committee
would apply to agricultural re
search- He said he couldn't
promise because of the govern-
ment’seffortstoreducethe deficit.
He had fought to keep deficit
reduction measures from hurting
research he said and tried to find
ways to encourage private sector
research but warned that the
government couldn’t continue to
spend forever. “If we don’t
continue to make significant pro
gress to reduce the budgetary
deficit in less than 15 years we
would be spending three dollars
out of every four to service debt. If
we don’t reduce the deficit we
won’t be able to afford any
research at all.”
