In a speech to the Canadian -Swiss
Association in Zurich, Switzerland,
Premier David Peterson predicted
that the Canada -U.S. trade agree-
ment will emerge as the main issue
in the next federal election.
to a renewed attack on the pact,
Premier Peterson said, "I believe
this deal as signed isn't in the na-
tional interest of Canada. The feder-
al government would have only
marginal protection from any future
protectionist trade laws in the Unit-
ed States. Furthermore, Canada
would give up sovereignty on the
energy issue."
Among other criticisms of the
- agreement, the Premier said that
Canada should work toward multi-
lateral approaches to world trade
rather than seek bilateral measures.
Premier Peterson noted that the
agreement reached last fall has not
yet been ratified by Congress, ad-
ding that it will become the domi-
nant political issue in Canadian pol-
itics for some time to come.
Promotion of land steward-
ship at local county level
The Ontario Soil and Crop Im-
provement Association (OSCIA)
zaaes .v fF
Jack's Jottings
Step up trade attack
has signed a $3 million agreement
to deliver and implement this gov-
ernment's Land Stewardship Pro-
gram.
The three-year grant will enable
the OSCIA to establish local coun-
ty committees to review fund re-
quests and help promote and imple-
ment the program.
This unique agreement, between
my ministry and OSCIA, allows for
a grassroots approach to delivering
this program; local committees will
be sensitive to the special condi-
tions that exist in each county, thus
providing a more effective program
that suits the area's needs.
The $40 million Land Steward-
ship Program provides financial in-
centives for farmers who adopt man-
agement practices to improve the
health of their soils. The program
includes incentives to diversify row
crop production, grants to retire fra-
gile lands, assistance for maintain-
ing good crop cover after planting,
and funds for renting, modifying, or
purchasing special tillage equip-
ment.
Brochures, inventory and action
plans, and application forms are
available at ministry county offices
and from the local OSCIA commit -

Incr�ased funding for treat-
ment and testing of AIDS
• Health Minister Elinor Caplan an-
nounced that four Toronto hospitals
will receive additional funding to in-
crease their AIDS treatment and
testing efforts.
Speaking at the opening of the
First Canadian AIDS Research Con-
ference, Mrs. Caplan also an-
nounced a re -allocation of resources
within the ministry's laboratory ser-
vices branch, in order to meet the de-
mand for increased Human Immuno-
deficiency Virus (HIV) -antibody
testing.
"People suffering from AIDS need
constant and compassionate care.
And the hospitals providing that
care need our support," Mrs. Caplan
said.
The Minister also announced a re-
allocation of staff and resources
within the laboratory services
branch to meet the greatly increased
demand in lab testing for the HIV
antibody.
Four additional staff have been
added to the AIDS section at the
ministry's central laboratory in To-
ronto. As well, additional testing
sites and three additional staff are
planned in regional public health la-
boratories in the spring, beginning
with Ottawa in early February.
Facilities for the isolation of HIV
have been completed at the central
laboratory in Toronto. The lab will
now have the ability to actually iso-
late the virus in those special cases
where it is clinically required.
"These enhancements represent a
significant re -allocation of resources
and staff," Mrs. Caplan said. "It -)
shows that the Ontario Government
is, and will remain, flexible and
sensitive to the ever changing na-
ture of this disease."
Grants to riding
I was pleased to learn recently
from the Ministry of Culture and
Communications that the Town of
Scaforth has received a grant in the
amount of S1,885.33 under the
Community Facilities Improvement
Program, to install super slate on
the reconstructed town hall porch.
The town of Wingham has been
the recipient of a Wintario Develop-
ment grant in the -amount of S1,625
from the Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation, to purchase equipment
for a track and field program.

Plan trade seminars
A series of free trade seminars
will be held across the province to
offer a sector -by -sector analysis of
the free trade agreement, Agriculture
and Food Minister Jack Riddell an-
nounced this week.
"Farmers have told me they don't
understand what the free track deal
will mean to their farming opera-
tions and to thcir incomes. These
meetings will provide basic infor-
mation on the trade agreement so
individual farmers can make up their
minds," said Riddell.
