NATIONAL PRESS THEATREAccession:1986-0602Media:SoundProduction date:1986-07-22Production company:National Press TheatreDescription:Press Conference held by Liberal Party Leader John Turner in which the Leader of the Opposition responds to questions from the press gallery. The first questionconcerns the recent government handling of a bill relating to the release of prisoners on parole. Subsequent questions deal with the same issue, and the following concerns are raised: the constitutional responsibility of the Senate and its amendment to the bill in question; the long history of the bill in parliament and the causes of the delays; and the importance of the bill itself in terms of public safety. Moving on to other matters, questions posed concern: the price of domestic wheat; economic sanctions on South Africa and whether Canada should withdraw from the Commonwealth games in protest against the Thatcher Government's position. <20mn> Subjects:CANADA~INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS~PAROLE~PRESS CONFERENCES~PRISONERS~SANCTIONS~SOCIAL LEGISLATION~SOUTH AFRICA ~TURNER, JOHN Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
