The Rural Voice, 1993-12, Page 17out of spite over Canadian grain im-
ports. And quotas under the seldom
used Section 22 of the U.S. Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act might just do
it. Well, as we said ... it's mostly
U.S. politics. Canadian wheat
shipments to the U.S. don't represent
one per cent of their production.
Following the recent Canadian
election U.S. Agricultural Secretary
Espy was asked about his position
on the request to impose quotas on
Canadian wheat, and his reply was "I
am leaving that decision up to the
President."
Finally, if the U.S. does impose
quota on durum, then the U.S. pasta
makers can always move to Canada.
The big millers already have. Prior
to the FTA Canadian -owned compa-
nies controlled 81 per cent of the
flour milling capacity. Since the
FTA was signed U.S. firms such as
A.D.M., Robin Hood and Conagra
have gained control of 70 per cent of
the Canadian flour milling capacity.0
