Tennyson said, "He's opened some doors for us" in the area of lobbying the government. At Bowmanville High School the federal minister talked about the trilateral trilateral free trade agreement with a class of OAC economics and political science students. However, before getting into that area of politics, he explained what the department of Supply and Services actually actually does. "I buy all the goods and services for the government," Mr. Dick said. "If the navy needs new frigates, or a prison needs toothpaste, they come to' • the department." Supply and Services spends about eight to nine billion dollars per year for the government. "We are the largest buying organization organization in Canada." The department also takes care of the bank accounts, handles all the government's government's cheques, and runs the mint. "We make a lot of money there," he quipped to the students. Speaking on the topic "of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mr. Dick said, subsidies "distort the markets markets and consumers pay more" for products. In the area of wheat exports, Canadians Canadians can't afford to compete on the world market with artificially raised wheat prices from other countries so Canadian wheat is sold on its quality rather than quantity. In fact, in some countries it has been found that fanners' incomes are subsidized up to 70 per cent, he said. . Other topics Mr. Dick touched on for the students were GATT, unemployment unemployment insurance and the GST. Mr. Dick spent an hour with Jeff Boucher's students. Fire Dept.
