Answer soon on import quotas Herb Gray Minister of Industry Trade and Commerce told MP Otto Jellnek last week In the Mouse of Commons that the government will state position very toon on the requested re-instate- of shoe import quotas Following are Jelinek questions and Gray answers Madam speaker my question is directed to the Minister of Industry Trade and Commerce Over Jobs have been lost in the Canadian footwear Industry since last November when the Liberal government lifted Its quotas on leather shoe Imports despite antidura ping tribunal recommendations to the contrary Not withstanding the Insensitive attitude of the minister and his cabinet colleagues towards the growing number of unem ployed Canadians can the minister either justify his actions of last November which was totally contrary to the recommend ations of the antidumping tribunal or indeed justify the continuing existence of the tribunal Itself the advice of which the government does not need Who is right the minister or the tribunal Cray Madam speaker I advise the honorable member to take another look at the report of the antidumping tribunal We have not disregarded its advice We have acted in a way which we believe is totally consistent with its findings which said that our industry is in the position to meet competition from developed coun tries the main source of Imported leather footwear That is why we decided not only to maintain the existing quotas on leather footwear but extend It to canvas footwear while taking into account that conclusion of the tribunal This was in addition to creating special funds of million to aid our Industry in modernizing and becoming more efficient and competitive We axe not insensitive to the industry we consider it and its workers very important and I think we have read the report of the antidumping tribunal a lot more carefully than my honorable friend did speaker according to the president of the Canadian Shoe Manu facturing Association unless leather shoes are reinstated in the global quota at once a further 000 Canadians will lose their Jobs within the next four months Two months ago the minister gave an undertaking in this House that he would make a decision in that regard within days He is now one month behind schedule and I ask the minister to stand up in this House right now and tell us if a decision has been made If so what is it if not when can we and in particular the shoe industry which is functioning in a void out there know when the decision will be made by this cabinet minister who has promised Gray Madame speaker the decision in question is that of cabinet You promised it two months ago Gray We will be in a position to state very soon the results of our review of in formation provided to us by the industry and other elements interested in the Can adian footwear sector I think wc will be able to state the conclusion of our review before too long Douglas Vale wife Ruby and daughters and Katrlna are enjoying their first posting with the Salvation Army Outdoors FLETCHER It s a dilemma Whether to go fishing or plant the garden is rough choice to make when the fishing is tops and the Is in such bad shape However I not a vegetarian so the garden will just hove to wait for another day The interest this spring in ultra I spinning rods and reels is amazing Many anglers who for many years have fished with standi seven foot and longer rods have looked envy at Innovative era who are consistently taking more fish and are not wearing themselves out In the process Long fly rods in five and six weight categories make the best drifting and bait rods the length to keep line clear of the water plus the line tight for del cole handling Ultra light reels need to be good quality in order to have good clutch systems Lines should not exceed six pounds and work better with four pou nds Few fish are lost by line breakage if clutch or drag systems are not set too tight Some nice Rainbow Trout have been taken In the Norval area of the Credit and Brown Trout have started to hit in the upper reaches of the river esp ecially around the Forks of the Credit This river has a proliferation of no trespassing signs in evidence Many anglers In the past have spoiled the chances for access to many properties due to neglect of fences and strewing of garbage Just take the time to ask for the privilege to fish and most property owners will comply A good way to moke a new friend is to leave a fishing area cleaner than you found It and we will all benefit Pike are hitting In Fairy Lake as well as a few boss on their spawning areas Bass are not open yet and few as they are they should be quickly ret urned to the water The lake needs all the mature fish that are around at this lime John has had great luck fishing for In the Georgian Bay area and has limited out on eral occasions ation Arm New leader Envoy Douglas Being an envoy for the Salvation Army means making a committment to dedicate yourself to
