"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.
