Brigid Pyke discussed the impact of free trade on the agriculture industry in Canada, Canada, during a gathering of the Bowmanville Rota- rians, Thursday evening at the Orono United Church. "Farmers are big traders in Canada. Twenty billion dollars worth of agricultural agricultural products are produced produced in Canada yearly, and $8.4 billion of that is exported exported to foreign nations," said Mrs. Pyke. She explained that farmers farmers can stand the heat in the world market, but are concerned concerned about the lack of quantitative restraint free trade would levy against U.S. imports. "We as a nation can feed ourselves sufficiently, and still have substantial exports. exports. With free trade we will be competing with a nation nation that could supply all the agricultural needs of Canadians with the surplus of any of its crops," warned Mrs. Pyke. The producers hardest hit by a free trade deal would be Canada's horticultural horticultural industry, noted the speaker. The U.S. will be able to produce more fresh produce year round than Canada.

We want to see some mediating board to settle disputes, and we insist on some form of quantitative control to prevent agricultural agricultural products from pouring in," the president informed the audience. Canadians must understand understand another critical factor factor when contemplating free trade, she said, and that is farmers cannot pro duce goods as cheaply as the U.S., when paying high labor wages, fuel costs, taxes, and transportation costs. Canada's subsidies, tariffs, and marketing boards are essential to keep Canada competitive in the world. "Canada should think twice about wiping out industries industries in the name of free trade. No country in the world should give up its ability to produce food and lose its self-sufficiency," she concluded. tie Hot Fhmu Intel ■ tte «ME It's time to call your Welcome Wagon hostess.
