This interview of Rodney de C. Grey was conducted in Ottawa by Ann Weston of the North-South Institute on 30 April 1988. Topics discussed are: de C. Grey's career, beginning with the Department of Finance in 1950 which led to his knowledge of tariffs, his work as Canadian negotiator in Geneva during the Dillon, Kennedy and Tokyo rounds of the Multilateral Trade Negotiations (MTN) and as chairman of a federal inter-departmental committee on low cost imports policy in Ottawa. Also discussed are: a history of Canadian tariff liberalization from 1935; Canada-U.S. relations in the MTN and the importance of the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Agreement program; the origin of the low-cost import problem which emerged in the late 1950s; Canada's trade relationship with Japan and with the European Economic COmmunity (EEC); the concept of tariff preferences; the role of developing countries in early trade negotiations; Canada's changing role in relation to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT); the deterioration of Britain's trade relationship with Canada; and Canadian textile policy. <80mn>
