The chairman of the Newfoundland Newfoundland Milk Marketing Board, Eric Williams, stated that free trade between Canada and the U.S. would have little impact on the domestic dairy industry. He said the clamour is due to the fact that people people are traditionally afraid of, change. He did admit that the trade deal did represent a massive overhaul of Canada's trade system and the farming farming community is criticizing the pact without giving it a fair shake. He said the U.S. was not going to be driving force. . The Newfoundland speaker said when in 1949 the federal government government approached Newoundland to join in Confederation it was thought that it would be the death of Newfoundland. He said once the transition period was over everything was fine and the province continued to prosper, Williams showed his faith in Mulroney stating that the Prime Minister would not have signed the deal if Canada was getting the short end of the deal. He suggested that farmers give free trade a chance. The meeting drew some 100 from not only Durham County but also from Northumberland and Peterborough Peterborough County. But if Williams was supportive of the pact Jim Turney, a Grafton area dairy farmer and a local representative representative on the Ontario Milk Marketing Board was far 'from optimistic optimistic and carried on with his opposition opposition to the pact. He said although the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and Dairy Farmers of Canada are happy with some aspects of the free trade, the deal leaves many questions unanswered. He said on ttie positive side the federal government has promised that milk marketing boards will be protected from dairy product imports imports from the U.S. Turney said he did have great concerns with products containing dairy ingredients such as pizza, puddings and soups. He said once .the tariff is eliminated there is no protection for the dairy industry product and these tariffs are to be eliminated over a ten year period. Turney is also concerned over large quantities of milk and processed processed dairy products making their way into Canada at U.S. border crossings. He said the lax attitude of certain custom officials who do not enforce the ban on American dairy products entering the country or the 17 percent percent duty does greatly affect Canadian Canadian producers. Turney said Ü.S. dairy products now making their way into Canada, duty- free, cost Canadian producers some $70 million annually. He said free trade will only increase this figure as volume increases.
