NATIONAL PRESS THEATREAccession:1986-0602Media:SoundProduction date:1986-07-30Production company:National Press TheatreDescription:New Democratic Party of Canada members Steven Langdon, Trade & Industry Critic and Michael Cassidy, Treasury Board Critic, hold press conference to discuss clothing import regulations just announced. In opening remarks, Langdon notes that the industry's and trade unions' requests for more protection have gone unheeded. Calling the new measures "non-policy", Langdon says the result will be stagnation and lack of confidence in the clothing and textile sectors, especially with the government's failure to set quotas and with the abolition of the Canadian Industrial Renewal Board. Michael Cassidy calls for an inquiry into possible conflict of interest in having Senior Ministerial Assistant to Sinclair Stevens, Shirley Walker, conducting business for a private commercial corporation. Questions concentrate on the import prices of clothing compared to domestic prices and ways to rejuvenate the industry. <50mn> Subjects:CANADA~CLOTHING TRADE~CONFLICT OF INTERESTS~IMPORT QUOTAS~INTERNATIONAL TRADE~INTERNATIONAL TRADE REGULATION~PRESS CONFERENCES~TEXTILE INDUSTRY ~CASSIDY, MICHAEL~LANGDON, STEVENLanguage:English / FrançaisDetailed holdings information: -
