Press conference held by Officers of the Canadian Federation of Labour, President James A. McCambly and Secretary-Treasurer Austin Thorne, to present key issues of the Federation's position paper on the bilateral trade negotiations with the United States. During the question and answer period the C.F.L. officials discuss the following issues: the importance of the labour viewpoint in trade negotiations; the lack of information regarding the impact of a free-trade agreement on Canadian workers; and the federal government's lack of commitment to labour and business in general. Both spokesmen call for the establishment of a "bilateral trade disputes board" to settle trade disagreements.
