Brian Mulroney told as in the last election that our social programs are not affected, that he hadn't traded away a thing. He assured people in the agriculture sector that they didn't need to worry about their sector because they hadn't _traded away a thing". He referred to it as "Mulroney's .M11 of goods," that enough people believed, "to put him back in of- fice with a 43% minority." Now, "near- ly a year later, Canadian and US of- ficials are only beginning to sit down and negotiate the meaning of the word subsidy, what will be or will—not be allowed under the terms of the trade deal as a measure of government intervention." Mr. Tobin promised that the Liberal party would continue to monitor the negotiations and "speak out for fun- damental industries of this country, to ensure that in the .process of these negotiations their concerns are being heard," Breaking Promises During the last election campaign, Mr. Tobin, along with Michael Cassidy (NDP), debated economic issues with Michael Wilson, on the CBC program' The Journal. He recalled Wilson telling him that "Canada's deficit was under control, the economy is vibrant, govern- ment revenues have increased, unemployment was down, and the pro- mises that there would be no tax in creases. Mr. Tobin questioned Wilson at that time about a new National Sales Tax. He reminded those present about the budget Mr. Wilson brought in right after. •the election - "that's the one that lightener] your pocketbook, it cancell- ed the: national child ',care program, it puller federal government out of the miemplOyment insurance program in this country for the and time since that program has been.Introduced. it sliced 43 billion out of r.egional.,development ,.PrOg ',r404*/ 7,?..IP94sAlftra,tt.*/ ; /tAeltbati they *odd -sore release a discussion paper •..outiningtthe 'goods and litervices tax".

He infer- red the government needed that time between the announcement of its pro- gram and breaking every single major promise of its election campaign, cancelling every major social program they had announced and 'Winging in a goods and services tax that bore no resemblence to what they had promised. Dangerous Deal Maker Mr. Tobin sees Mr. Mulroney as "a prime minister who is dangerous, because he will attempt, as he has in the past, to push through any program that he deems to be appropriate at a given point in time." Mr. Tobin expressed his concern that heading to the year 2000 in an increas6 ingly competitive world, that "Mulroney '.doens't operate with a vision of Canada or principles of what it is to be leader of a nation," He called Mulroney a "deal maker" citing Alberta, New- foundland and Quebec as examples of how Mulroney would "make a deal in every part of this country, with every vested interest, in any given day of the week to .solve the problems of the mo- ment in time", to "keep this part of the country quiet for the moment. That kind of deal maker is danger to Canada; that kind of politician has no visions of a land," Mr. Tobin went on to compare former Prirae Minister Trudeau as a man who had a vision of Canada, "and even if the people did not .agree with him, at least we knew where he was taking us; at least we -could debate the big picture for our country as Canadians. He beliettes that .Canada has lacking this type of Tolilics for the last five years, upholding that "the Liberals s traditionally have been something more than a patty of convenience or a collec- tion of special interests coming together to cut a deal". He said, "Liberals believe in success, in private enterprise, celebrate success, don't think profit is a dirty word, but perhaps most important- ly, believe it a fundamental responsihilis tr to mead' ontit-Amt.he4),2491 amoigat atSatitit4thointaged.
