Whelan -spoke for two hours, spontaneously, in a crowded room of about 65, on the pe.rils of free trade, focusing on the agree- ment's effect on agriculture. Whelan started bis audience laughing by making comments about Canadian Air Lines, a corporation recently privatized by the Mulroney government. 'We pay the saine goddamnn thing in those old planes as you do in the new ones (used by other companies). I hope wherever Mulroney is today he's grounded,' hie said. Whelan said subsidies te agriculture and related industries will not be allowed in a free trade deal, because the Americans do not want Canadian agricultural goods. The Aniericans, he said, will not allow subsidies because of an agricultural surplus in the U.S. - the Ameicans, Whelan said,' want to selI their own produce here. 'There's nothing in the free trade agreement that says some- thing's wrong with subsidizing "But if I want te subsidize pigs or chickens, that's bad. They wil only ]et us subsidize wbat they want," he said. "This deal is so one-sided in their favor." Whelan also attested that the "U.S. bas more hidden subsidies than anyone else in the world." The Canadian supply manage- ment boards mean that "some farmers could bave some prosperity." "This will no longer exist, as there will be a barmnonization of laws with the U.S.," Whelan said. Whelan slammed the Conser- vative governinent for cutting funding to agricultural research. tOuIacultural system is the envy of t he world. Do you think Gorbachev came te see me (on a visit to Canada during the Trudeau years)? The European world is now modelling our prograin," Whelan said.

"Why: are: we, in this, debate? Mulroney bas stretched the -truth so far-it broke. A U.S. president in the saie position would have been impeached."ý Whelan alleged that Ameni- cans in favor of. the reciprocity agreement are "inte rfering in, our election." Even the largest producers. of agricultural products may not survive free trade., Whelan alleged. 'We have lower producers here, and these wilI go by the wayside. Some economists think this is good." He compared the Ioss of sinaller producers (due te competition with larger producers in the U.S.) ta a PacMan videa gaine, bigger ones eating little ones. "Like bell it's: going te inake us better off," Whelan exclaimed to, the crowd. Combating the governmentVs allegations that the' European agricultural community operates on.a free trade basis, Whelan said, "Europe doesn't trade as free as we do.
