Agriculture ministers
discuss trade, tripartite
OTTAWA, December 4, 1987 -
Agriculture Minister John Wise, Minister
of State for Grains and Oilseeds Charles.
Mayer and Minister of State for
Agriculture Pierre Blais met this week
with their provincial counterparts to con-
tinue discussions on tripartite stabiliza-
tion, and address concerns on interna-
tional trade and farm income security.
As agreed at their last meeting in July,
the ministers discussed how to encourage
the participation of more provinces in 'ia-
tional tripartite stabilization programs.
The ministers considered a report
prepared by a federal -provincial commit-
tee and discussed a new concept for ensur-
ing a level playing field among red meat
producers in all regions of the country.
They agreed to consult producer groups on
this subject early in the new year.
On the subject of the Canada -US. free
trade agreement, Mr. Wise responded to a
number of provincial concerns.
The Minister emphasized the federal
government's firm commitment to main-
taining Canada's animal health regula-
tions and supply management systems.
"We have among the highest animal
health standards in the world," Mr., Wise
said. "Nothing in they agreement with the
United States will in any way jeopardize
our international reputation for high-
quality livestock, semen or embryos."
Mr. Mayer added that Canadian cattle
and hog producers have expressed support
for the agreement.
Mr. Wise also stressed that under the
agreement Canada has maintained its
farm marketing systems and their
underpinnings.
"We retain the right to put into place
new supply management programs, as
well as the right to impose import controls
that are in conformity with rules under the
GATT," he said.
Responding to some provinces' ques-
tions about the fruit and vegetable sector,
Mr. Wise said many producers will benefit
from increased access to the enormous
U.S. market.
"Concerns that Canadian production
would be displaced by products from
California and Florida are overstated,"
the Minister said. He pointed to the
flourishing horticultural sector in several
parts of the northern United States.
The major advantage U.S. fruit and
vegetable processors have is their larger
and longer production runs. With the
gradual removal of tariffs, Canadian pro-
cessors can compete with their American
counterparts in specialized product lines.
Both Mr. Wise and Mr. Mayer
acknowledged provincial ministers' con-
cern and frustration that the legal text of
the agreement has not yet been finalized.
They assured their counterparts that best
efforts are being made to complete the
task as soon as possible.
In other matters, Mr. Mayer assured
Atlantic ministers he would be_ acting on
the recommendations of a recent federal -
provincial review of the Feed Freight
Assistance Program.
Scottish collection
The University of Guelph has received
$25,000 from the Social Sciences and
Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)
for its Scottish studies collection. The
grant will buy a collection of Scottish
newspapers from the late 19th and early
20th centuries, Sir Walter Scott's diaries,
and records of the Darien Company - the
Scottish trading company that caused
financial ruin in Scotland when it went
bankrupt in the early. 18th century.
Held in the University Library, the col-
lectionalready includes Scottish
manuscripts from the last three centuries,
many Scottish literary journals and some
parish records from the late 18th and 19th
centuries. Areas of emphasis include the
Presbyterian Church, mid -17th century
convenanting, the first Jacobite rebellion
in 1715, and Bonnie Prince Charlie.
The Guelph collection is a key research
resource in Canada, says Scottish
historian Ron Sunter of the University's
Department of History. "SSHRC has
designated the University of Guelph as the
Canadian site for Scottish studies,". he
says.
Emphasis in this area stems from
Guelph faculty interests and the influence
of Guelph's Scottish settlers and founder
John Galt. The library collection is the
largest in Canada and among the top five
, in the world. It is probably the best collec-
tion of Scottish printed materials outside
Scotland, says Associate Librarian Ellen
Pearson.
