Premier David Peterson, in his presenta- tion to the 26th Annual Premiers' Conference in St John's Newfoundland, told provincial leaders that a new, comprehensive "free" trade agreement with the United States would be a profound move for both Canada and Ontario. There has not been enough "homework" done on the issue to provide some hard numbers on how a new agreement would affect the province and the country, the Premier said, In his address, Mr. Peterson noted the importance of trade with the U.S. Canada is the largest and fastest growing export market for the United States, ahead of Japan and all of the combined European community "Trade with the United States," said the Premier, "is most crucial of all to Ontario, where one million ,jobs and $4,000 in per capita income are generated by exports to the United States " The Premier underlined the importance of trade policy, not just to Canada's economic survival but to its political survival as well. Quoting the words of Sir Robert Borden, Premier Peterson said, "to determine trade policy is 'to determine not a mere question of markets, but the future destiny of Canada.' " The recent rise of the Canada -U.S. free trade issue may be traced to two concerns. The first is the mounting aggressiveness of the United States on trade issues, including a growing demand for more protectionist legislation from the U.S. Congress which is concerned about their huge budget and trade deficits. The U.S. wants to protect its producers of forestry. fishery, agricultural and steel products by imposing higher tariffs on Canadian products entenng the U S The second concern is prompted by the failure of Canada's economic policies to create jobs and promote economic development across the country In a discussion paper released at the Premiers' Conference Premier Peterson pointed to the many questions which must be answered before any action is taken on a free or comprehensive trade agreement The questions included Lc a comprehensive trade agreement needed" •W hat could be the economic impact of such an agreement^ - Will Canada lose the flexibility to set its own policies? -Is a comprehensive trade agree - merit realistically negotiable" • What are the alternatives? Premier Peterson said underlying all of these questions is the issue of jobs " W e have yet to see a systematic presentation on this issue," said the Premier "When consider- ing what approaches the federal government might be prepared to take, we start with a long list of questions and not even a short list of answers "Ontario is not against secure and enhanced access to the U S market," Mr. Peterson told the Premiers at the conference. "We are only against a hasty and uninformed approach to the issue We do not expect benefits without costs But we do expect benefits to exceed costs, from whatever course we choose to follow " In other business closer to home concern- ing the Farm Tax Rebate Program, I have been informed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs that forms will be mailed out by mid-September to municipalities who have already set their mill rate. Bonafide farmers who have paid at least 60 per cent of their municipal taxes have until December 30. 1986 to claim the rebate on their 1985 tax. Rebate cheques will be mailed out six to eight weeks following receipt of the forms.
