FEEDBACK
from providers of credit. On the
other hand, creditors, in particular the
banks, must learn to provide a level of
understanding and service commensu-
rate with their fee structures.
It is very difficult to formulate
general policies to aid any industry,
due to the individuality of each of
those involved within that particular
sector. I do believe the criticism lev-
elled at those within the debt review
process and at the process itself is
unjustified, as I for one am very
proud to be involved with a process
that helps anyone, be it a satisfactory
conclusion or not.
Recently a letter from an applicant
was received, and I quote:
"We are thankful to the committee
members (names withheld) for en-
couraging a settlement that allows our
farm and family room to survive. We
found all individuals involved to act
in a sincere and compassionate man-
ner and would add that they are a
credit to the intent of the debt review
process."
The FDRB process may not be
100 per cent perfect, but just one letter
such as above can provide for a sense
of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Certainly it would be wonderful if
every applicant could receive the
result they want, but reality does not
always allow it.
In closing, I believe it is important
for everyone to remember the results
of the FDRB process are usually dir-
ectly proportionate to the expectations
of the applicant.°

A REFLECTION ON
FREE TRADE DEAL?
An interesting footnote to Mr.
Mulroney's visit to the Goderich area
last month was what happened at the
end of my lane.
Some weeks ago I put up a sign
which says on one side "CANADA —
Don't trade it away" and on the other
"Let Canadians Decide." It expresses
my concerns about the Mulroney
