Ontario Cabinet to hold
hearings on free Trade
Jack's Jottings by Jack Riddell, Member
of Ontario Legislature for HURON
COUNTY
Following discussions on the free trade
agreement in Ottawa recently, Premier
David Peterson said Ontario could not sup-
port the deal. 4:
"I don't believe it's in our long term na-
tional interest to go for this deal," said Mr.
Peterson. "It just isn't good enough."
Premier Peterson announced that a sub-
committee of Ontario Cabinet Ministers is
holding public hearings on the free trade
agreement throughout the province. They
began in Toronto on October 13. The
Pretnier has asked me to sit on the com-
mittee as Minister of Agriculture and
Food.
Premier Peterson said this initiative will
put before the public the consequences of
the draft Canada -U.S. free trade agree-
ment and will explain the reasons for On -
taro's objections to the proposed pact.
"The proposed free trade will
significantly affect the future of all On-
tarians," Mr. Peterson said. "We have
said we would give people an opportunity
to express their views on this vital issue.
Furthermore, we have an obligation to put
forward our own views, and the reasons
for our opposition. The people deserve a
chance to assess the proposed agreee-
ment, and all of its consequences — intend-
ed and unintended."
The Cabinet sub -committee on Free
Trade is providing an open forum on the
proposed deal. Individuals and organiza-
tions still have the opportunity to make
written submissions or oral presentations
to the Ministers, Mr. Peterson said.
The sub -committee, chaired by In-
dustry, Trade and Technology Minister
Monte Kwinter, also includes Greg Sor-
bara, Minister of Labour and Minister
Responsible for Women's Issues; Energy
Minister Bob Wong; Culture and Com-
munications Minister Lily Munro and Con-
sumer and Commercial Relations Minister
B 1 Wrye. Other ministers will participate
o an ad hoc basis.
he sub -committee will report its fin-
dings by mid-December and the report will
be tabled in the Legislature for full debate.
Mr. Peterson also announced that a
number of industry impact studies,
previously prepared by the Ministry of In-
dustry, Trade and Technology, will be'
reviewed and reassessed in the light of the
proposed free trade deal. They will be
published and released as soon as possible.
Mr. Peterson said the deal does not meet
four of the six conditions necessary for On-
tario's approval which he set out during
the recent election campaign.
The six conditions are: protection of the
Auto Pact, an effective dispute -settlement
mechanism, protection of agriculture, con-
tinued screening of foreign investment,
protection of cultural industries, and the
maintenance of regional subsidy
programs.
Mr. Peterson said the most serious con-
cern is the new bi-national tribunal set up
as a final arbiter of trade disputes between
the two Countries. He said the tribunal
does not provide a sufficient mechanism to
avoid the protectionist trade laws of the
U.S. Congress.
As well, removal of the Canadian tariffs
from the.Auto Pact, effectively takes away
any enforcement that the pact's provisions
are followed. The deal could hurt our auto
parts business in the future, Premier
Peterson said.
Ontario's wine industry could be hurt
and other potential losers could be the
grain industry. While red meat producers
would gain, on balance, the proposed deal
is hard on agriculture.
Premier Peterson also said opening up
Canada's investment market to the
Americans is "a serious concern".
Mr. Peterson said the Cabinet sub-
committee will give Ontario citizens the
opportunity to put forward their views of
the kind of country we'll have in the next
five, 10 or 20 years from now, as a result of
the proposed free trade deal.
