TRADE IS FOCUS
AT CONFERENCE
Typical of the debate over free trade
is the extreme divergence of opinion,
and the discussion of the issue at this
year's Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food Outlook Conference was no
exception.
PYKE: DEAL IS INADEQUATE
Brigid Pyke, president of the On-
tario Federation of Agriculture, said the
pact doesn't answer complaints about
U.S. protectionist measures or guaran-
tee that countervail duties will be lifted.
In addition, she charged, the bilateral
dispute settlement is inadequate.
Government, Pyke said, has a bad
track record in protecting farmers from
dumping, so its promises to assist farm-
ers adversely affected by the deal leave
room for skepticism.
On the other hand, Pyke criticized as
irresponsible the federal opposition's
plan to cancel the agreement if the
Conservatives were to be ousted in the
next election. Cancelling the agree-

costly than its initial implementation.
DAYNARD: BENEFITS OBVIOUS
The general manager of the Ontario
Corn Producers' Association, Terry
Daynard, commended the deal, and
cited the European Economic Commu-
nity as an example of a successful trad-

to give up much to get back even more.
The benefits of a large market are obvi-

COHEN: WILL IT PASS?
Dian Cohen, a nationally known
economist, came out foursquare in fa-
vour of the free trade deal.
One thing we must unaerstand, she
said, is that our economy was not in
great shape even before the recent stock
market crash.
"We all have a soft spot for farmers,"
she said, but agricultural efficiency has
led to an excess of production. Even
now, she said, we may still have too
many farmers.
"Free trade," Cohen added, is a
misnomer — nothing is free. There are
winners and there are losers, and we
can't all be winners, she said.
Cohen noted, however, that while
