LETTER To the editor Open letter to Ontaio Conservative MP, 'Rêe *1 Soetens It has been a year since the Reagan-Mulroney free trade i arement was signed by the J Arnerican and Canadian governments. And from observing the Mulroney Conservative free trade policy, I give the Tories a big 'F' mark for failing to live up to their November 1988 promises. When Canadian jobs. are disappearing and heading south. - an estimated 72.,000 jobs - to either U.S. or Meico, where is Brian Mulroney? I can recali a time when the Jfederal Conservatives and the Prime Minister were assuring Canadians that 'His Free Deal' proposaI would give Canadians "hundreds of thousands of jobs," iower consumer prices, higher incomnes and a shieid from America n trade harrassment. Mulroney even promised (yes promised) Canadians a "massive" adjustment assistance for vuinerabie workers who wouid lose their jobs to free trade - "ajustment progranis that would be the flnest anywhere in the world... innovative and generous." So what has the Mulroney government been up to th? last 12 months? Well there is no, adjustment program. Those laid- off workers from free trade got hurt by the FTA and by the cutbacks in unemployment insurance. As for the promise of new job opportunities, year one of FTA has been a dismal failure. It bas been a year of layoffs and more iayoffs and where are the Tories? 0f course, F'IA cannot be biamed for ail job losses. Some resulted from the governments' .decision to keep the Canadian dollar so high, which, undoubtediy, bas hurt Canadian exports t6 the U.S. and has hurt Canada's chances of benefiting from the trade deal. There are aiso trade-related coincidences - cutbacks in grain transport subsidies, regional subsidies and governmnent contributions to UIC - ail the progranis the Americans have comolained aboit in the past. Remember Mulroney selling Canada to the U.S. by scrapping FERA?- When you add it ail up, every promise Mulroney made in '84 and '88 ýeither remains unfulfluled or broken. Mr. Mulroney, scrap free trade before it is too late! If you don't, we wil scrap your government in .1992.
