File No: 88-34/WW Gary Herrema Regional Chairman C.W. Lundy A.M.C.T. Regional Clerk I Selling free trade: Minister By Debbie Luchuk Free trade is "an idea whose time has come," according to Harvie Andre, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, who spoke pt a breakfast sponsored by lhe Durham AM Kiwanis at the Holiday Inn in Oshawa last week. He said that free trade has been sought by "almost every Canadian government since Confederation. "It is because we wanted greater opportuinities that we had Confederation," Andre said, adding that the end of the Reciprocity Act with the U.S. in 1865 led to an economic depression. The depression, he said, forced the governments of the colonies to enter into Confederation to create a free trade relationship. He said that even former prime ministers Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau even "sought free trade in a sectoral sense." Andre spent a great deal of time discussing the auto pact, comparing it to the free trade deal. a I I I I DUJRHAM "Oshawa's largest employer has enjoyed free trade through the auto pact, and it (free trade) will help achieve greater productivity and competitiveness (in the auto industry)," he said. He pointed out that none of the countries involved in free trade alliances, such as within the European Economic Community, have suffered economically or wanted to pull out of their agreemints. "Not one of the countries in a free trade (situation) has suffered. Is free trade going to cost jobs? What is different about Canada that they won't do well in free trade?" He used the example of Ireland and the United Kingdom, which are countries of disparate size, to prove that Canada will not be swallowed up by the U.S. economy. "Countries in ' trading re- lationships with big partners benefit. The small country gears up to compete with the big partner, and is made competitive in larger markets," he said. "Canada needs this impetus to THE REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING M Take notice that the Regiona.î Planning Committee-will consider at a meeting to be held on: SEPTEMBER 13, 1988 AT 10:00 A.M.

And, to keep pace with the U.S. and the EEC, we have to have access to larger markets." To alleviate fears that Canada might be swallowed up by the U.S. economy, Andre added, "It -is not a merger with the U.S., or a desecration of the Canadian economy." Andre attacked president Bob White and the Canadian Auto Workers for their anti-free trade stance. "Bob White and the CAW. are unwillling to let other industries benefit from free trade." Andre argued that, contrary to the popular concern that Canadian culture and sover- eignty will be lost in a free trade agreement, Canadian sovereignty will be strengthened by reciprocity. "If we trade more with the Americans, will we become less Canadian? Is Britain less British as part of the EEC? Of course not." "Free trade will enhance Canada's sense of self-confidence, and increase prosperity to all regions of the country. There is nothing in the free trade agreement to limit . Canada's power as a sovereign nation." If'there is any dispute over any aspect of the free trade agreement, Andre said that Canada's position would. be preserved by a disputes panel made up of an equal number of representatives from both countries. Andre said that fears of losing the Canadian health systems and losing' control over regional development were unfounded. "Free trade cannot affect regional development or health systems. This is an economic trade agreement, nothing more. A stronger Canadian economy is the best guarantee to be able to assert the economy. "The real threat to social programs would be a stagnant economy.
