"I don't believe it's in our long term na- tional interest to go for this deal,'4 said Mr. Peterson. "It just isn't good enough." Premier Peterson announced 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. Jack Rid- dell has been asked to sit on the committee as Minister of Agriculture and Food. Premier Peterson said this initiative will put before the public the conseqbences of the draft Canada -U.S. free trade agreement and will explain the reasons for Ontario's. objections to the proposed pact. "The proposed free trade will significant- ly affect the future of all Ontarians," Mr. Peterson said. "We have said we would give an oppor- tunity to express their views on this vital issue. Futhermore, 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 agreement, and of Its consequences — intended and unintended." The Cabinet Sub -committee on Free trade is providing an open forum on the proposed deal. Individuals and organizations still have the opportunity to make written sub- misSions or oral presentations to the Ministers, Mr. Peterson said, • The Sub-conunittee, chaired' by Industry, Trade and Technology Minister Monte Kwinter, also includes Greg Sorbara, Minister of Labour and Minister Responsi- ble for Women's Issues, Energy Minister Bob Wong, Culture and Cornmintications Minister Lily Munro and Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister' Bill Wrye. Other Ministers will participate on an ad hoc basis. • The Sub -committee will report its findings by mid-December and the report will be tabled in the Legislature for full debate. Mr. Peterson also announced a number of industry impact studies, •previously prepared by the Ministry of Industry, 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, pro- teotion of Cultural ifitittstrieS, and the maintenance of regional subsidy programs. Mr. Peterson said the most serious den - 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 US. Congress. As well, removal of the Canadian tariffs from the Atito pact, effectively take away any enforcement that the poet's provisions are folrowe'd. The deal could hint our auto parts business in the future, Premier Peter- son said. Premier Peterson also said opening up Canada's investrtiont market to the Americans is "a serious concern." Mr: Peterson Said the Cabinet SO- C'Ornttee wilt give Olitatiti dititatia the porturlity to put forward their views of the kind of country have in the next five, 10 Ur g0 years froth now, as a result of the pro- posed free trade deal.
