Press conference held by Sergio Marchi, Liberal MP and multiculturalism critic and by Ian Waddell, New Democratic Party MP. In an opening statement, Mr. Marchi expresses the Liberal Party's support of the government's settlement package of redress for Japanese-Canadians. He criticizes Prime Minister Mulroney's unwillingess to engage in serious negotiations with respect to the issue.~Mr. Waddell refers to former CCF MP Angus MacInnis's speech in the House of Commons in the 1940s opposing the government's actions when the Liberal government decided to intern Japanese-Canadians. As well, Mr. Waddell reads a letter written by a retired Japanese Canadian couple describing their losses owing to the MacKenzie King government's actions.
