until more dams are built By Don Macdonald QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Hydro-Quebec must proceed with a new generation of dams despite the ferocious opposition of environmentalists and natives, utility officials said Tuesday.Even with energy conservation, the utility says it will have to meet growing demand for electricity with new hydro projects, including the $13.1-billion Great Whale complex in northern Quebec.\u2018\u2018Hydroelectric power is a form of electricity that is economic, renewable and not very damaging to the environment,\u201d Hydro chairman Richard Drouin told a National Assembly committee.\u201cYet this reality clashes with the convictions of those who claim all over the place that hydroelectric development.leads to irreparable consequences for nature and communities

Commons to reform the country\u2019s election law would prohibit publication of almost all polls over the last three days of a federal election campaign.Tim Kotcheff, vice- president of television

Hydro turn away from megaprojects and instead cut demand through more conservation.They also challenge Hydro estimates that demand will increase by 1.8 per cent annually between now and 2010 despite

during the hearings.\u201cNo one ever correctly predicts the demand,\u201d he said during a break in the hearings.Whether you be on one side or the other you have different figures.\u2019 Energy

Eoin Kenny OTTAWA (CP)\u2014 Canada has taken another step toward greater diversity in its makeup, according to 1991 census data released by Statistics Canada on Tuesday.Nearly a third of Canadians reported an ethnic background other than British or French in June 1991, the agency said.In 1991, 31 per cent reported Quebec OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Some 948,085 people in Quebec \u2014 or 13.9 per cent

per cent, reported more than one ethnic origin.Nationally, a total of 470,615 people (1.7 per cent) reported single aboriginal origins, while 532,060 reported aboriginal origins in combination with other groups.As well, in 1991, 765,100 people (2.8 per cent) reported Canadian as their only ethnic origin.The ethnic background of the population comprised British {28 per cent), French (23 per

highest proportion of their population with à common ethnic background: 88.3 per cent of Newfoundland\u2019s residents reported Bri- tish-only origins.while in Quebec, 74.6 per cent reported

moved away from the \u2018festival multiculturalism\u2019 designed to help new Canadians maintain their heritage to a more subtle policy which emphasizes the delivery of culturally sensitive services.Federal and provincial governments are striving to be ethnically diverse themselves \u2018to be in tune and be able to deliver services in a way appropriate to this cultural diversity.\u201cIt\u2019s a very quiet thing without a lot of fanfare.You don\u2019t see the same kind of public exposure you see with employment equity and anti- racism initiatives.\u201d Chiappa said anyone who argues with this growing diversity or is afraid of where it might lead, is being too narrow in their view.\u2018This is a reflection of Canada.This is a reflection of a a changing world.\u201cIt\u2019s time we realized Canada is bilingual and multicultural.That has to be recognized as we move on and determine who we are as a nation.\u201d The growing non-British and non-French

Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Parti .Québécois leader Jacques Pa- rizeau said the political agenda for the next three years is clear and sovereignty is at the centre of it all.First.in 1993, there will be the election of a majority of Bloc Québécois MPs to the House of Commons.Parizeau predicted while on a whirlwind tour of Sherbrooke Tuesday.Second will be the 1994 provincial election.during which .he anticipates a PQ victory: Then.in the spring of 1995, a referendum on sovereignty will affirm Quebecers\u2019 will to : gain independence from Canada.By Campbell Clark SHERBROOKE \u2014 Although the Parti Québécois platform ; would be the basis for the constitution of a sovereign Quebec.it doesn\u2019t contain a single reference to English-speaking Quebecers.PQ leader Jacques Parizeau called that an embarassment Tuesday in an interview with the Record.\u201cOne, two, three \u2014 93, '94,°95 \u2014 that\u2019s the agenda.\u201d Parizeau said.\u201cIt\u2019s as easy as that.\u201d \u201cAnd will sovereignty dominate this process?\u201d he asked rhetorically.\u201cOf course.what else would we talk about?\u201d Parizeau, who was in town to speak at the Sherbrooke riding association's annual fundraiser, said the election of separatist candidates to Ottawa will be an historical first.FIRST TIME \u201cFor the first time ever, a so- vereigntist party will present candidates in all ridings to go to Ottawa,\u201d he told reporters at an afternoon press conference.\u201cIt will be the first time there are parties in Ottawa and Quebec fighting for sovereignty.\u201d \u201cWhen any country declares its independence the first thing people ask is \u2018how are you going to treat your minorities?\u2019\u201d he said.The deficiency prompted the PQ to form a task force to draft a policy on anglophones.Although the task force\u2019s final report has not yet been released, published leaks have generated controversy.Parizcau also told reporters he was leary of two recent polls which show Bloc candidates wouldn\u2019t fare well during a federal election later this year.He pointed out that polls from Angus Reid and Gallup, both from English Canada.show the BQ faltering, while pollsters from French- language firms in Quebec show the BQ would gain 40 to 50 per cent of the vote in four-way races across the province.During his talk with reporters and in his speech at the fundraiser, Parizeau said duplications between federal and provincial programs are wasting at least $3 billion in taxpayers money.He said the federal gover- Parizeau said the leaks were based on an earlier draft and not the final version.But he would not say whether preventing children of English- speaking immigrants from attending English schools would be part of the final policy.Parizeau said he favors guarantees for English schools in a sovereign Quebec, including protecting the last English nment refused to release results from commissioned studies on money wasted by duplication in more than two thirds of government programs and departments.WASTING MILLIONS Parizeau, who got a hold of a leaked copy of one of the studies.says he understands why the government decided not to make them

platform in August.Parizeau said that despite fights with Ottawa.Quebec must put a much greater emphasis on professional training.He pointed out that a few years ago there were 120,000 young Quebecers in trade schools.Today.that number has dropped to 15,000.\u201cIt\u2019s no longer a problem.it\u2019s a crisis.and it won\u2019t be solved by some minor adjustments.\u201d Parizeau said, \u201cIt's

supporters who paid $100 a plate to listen that the party is close to it's objective of getting rid of one of those governments.But he said sovereigntists will have to continue their fight for another two or three years.\u201cThe dream of sovereignty is no longer indistinct.\u201d he said.\u201cThe time has come to start moving again, to rattle the cage, to start a second Quiet Revolution.\u201d NN se talk about?\u2019 Judge finds Drummondville Tory hard to believe MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 A Superior Court judge has questioned the credibility of Drum- mondville Conservative MP Jean-Guy Guilbeault\u2019s testimony about his ownership and sale of shares in an agricultural machinery company which received an $86,840 federal grant in 1988.In arecent judgment, Justice René Hurtubise wrote that there were inconsistencies in Guilbault\u2019s testimony at a civil trial last fall.\u201cWhat we perceived as reluctance in his attitude during his brief court appearance incites us even more to adopt a precautionary assessment of his testimony,\u201d Hurtubise wrote.Guilbault appeared last October as a witness in a civil trial in Drummondville in which Germain Jutras, a local lawyer and businessman, sued accountant René Verrier for professional negligence.Documents revealing that Guilbault owned one-third of the shares in Valac Inc.when it requested the grants in 1987 and when it received them in 1988 surfaced at the trial.The Drummondville MP had also personally guaranteed half of the company\u2019s $600,000 debt, documents showed.The Parliament of Canada Act prohibits MPs from profiting from federal grants or contracts.A Quebec City lawyer representing Guilbault, who is parliamentary secretary to Supply and Services Minister Paul Dick, has said Guilbault was in no

Valac\u2019s parent company, Silo Superieur Inc., to Louise Lafrance, the wife of his riding association president, in an agreement dated Jan.11, 1988.No money changed hands in the deal and the purchase price was to be set later, Guilbault said.Lafrance said she had never heard of Valac and did not recall buying any shares.Guilbault testified that when Lafrance did not pay for the shares, he took them back on June 24, 1988, and sold them to Jutras.Guilbault\u2019s testimony about the transactions astonished Hurtubise, who said he had \u201cgreat hesitation\u2019 in accepting it as

monitoring the activities of the security guards.He said his people fear the guards will use physical violence against them if they try to peacefully block logging in the buffer zones.\u201cWe do not want to stop all the logging in the park.But we are very concerned about the buffer zones and protecting our way of life,\u201d he said.Mercredi said the Quebec government should use a mediator to

By Shawn Apel LENNOXVILLE \u2014 The town has begun consulting residents about public safety, but at least one taxpayer claims the process is not quite good enough.That\u2019s what Lennoxville resident Diane Kirby said Tuesday about a questionnaire sent to townspeople this week about the possibility of Sherbrooke police protecting the town.Lennoxville town council announced January 25 it wants to sign a deal with Sherbrooke, thereby saving about $40,000 a year but abolishing the Len- noxville-Ascot police in the process.But the town promised to consult citizens before making a final decision.Kirby, who helped organize a COWANSVILLE (SM) \u2014 Louis Beaulieu, a 26-year-old .penitentiary inmate accused of raping a church secretary \u201c\u201cwhile on a day pass, will submit to blood tests, but the results will not determine the presence of the HIV virus, and may never be presented in court.Margot B., the 46-year-old Dunham church secretary allegedly raped last summer, launched a nation-wide petition to 1000-name petition in December asking council to consult residents, said it didn\u2019t take her long after the questionnaire came in the mail to decide it\u2019s unfairly biased in favor of the switch.\u201cI don\u2019t see anything here about the advantages of staying with Ascot,\u201d Kirby said, pointing at a seven-page document which accompanies the five-page questionnaire.The document begins by describing the present police force shared by Lennoxville and Ascot, explaining it costs Lennox- ville residents 50 per cent more than it does taxpayers in Ascot.TO BE NOTED ! \u201cIt is to be noted,\u201d the document reads, \u201cthat the Town of have her accused attacker tested for the HIV virus, thought to cause AIDS, and other sexually

conducted on the victim\u2019s clothing.Bootleg cigarettes: Contraband \u2018completely out of control\u2019 \u2014 GRANBY (CP) \u2014 Trade in contraband cigarettes has reached such massive proportions -in Quebec that the trafficker in illegal cigarettes is barely distinguishable from the pizza delivery person.The trafficker calls for your order and delivers it to your home \u2014

EE ES 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, February 24, 1993 7 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Time to let rural Ascot go It is time to let rural Ascot go.Members of that community have recently fired several salvos at their urban cousins, making justifiable claims that they are over-taxed and under-represented.The latest indignation came when rural residents saw their 1993 municipal tax bills hiked 30 to 50 per cent, while the urban sector got off easy with increases ranging between 7 and 14 per cent.Meanwhile, the rural sector holds only two of six seats on council.As a result, the Rural Residents Association has called for a split.It is difficult to disagree.Ascot Mayor Robert Pouliot reasons the increases are justifiable in the face of municipal reforms which transfer responsibility for road upkeep from the province to municipalities.Rural Ascot has about 100 kilometres of roads to maintain.The urban sector has a little more than 20, hence the higher tax increase for rural residents.But constituents are the ultimate judges of what contitutes fairness.And a large number in the rural sector don\u2019t buy the argument.A measure of their strong conviction must certainly be their determination to split from the municipality and assume costs for road repair.Added to their indignation is the current practice of using rural tax dollars to pay for exclusively urban services.For example, most rural residents don\u2019t have access to bus service and most don\u2019t require water or sewage hookups because they rely on wells and septic tanks.Standing in the way is provincial policy opposed to creating new municipalities.This narrow view from Quebec fails to recognize the unfair position rural Ascot residents find themselves in.That stubborn stand needs to be reappraised in light of the current feelings.According to the rural association, its members make up 30 per cent of Ascot\u2019 s population, contribute 46 per cent of the total money in Ascot\u2019s coffers, while only 25 per cent of the municipal budget is spent in their area.When faced with these numbers, and the apparent indifference by urban dwellers, a split by rural Ascot adds up to simple common sense.It is time to let rural Ascot go.Wish them well.DAN HAWALESHKA Letters Dear Mr.Bury and Record Staff Thank you!

GEORGE FOSTER Ways Mills Gold lust spoils n new Yanomami Reserve Defenders of Indian rights claim Gov.Ottomar Pinto and other politicians in the state of Ro- raima have encouraged prospectors to return to Yanomami land.Pinto, who favors assimilating the Yanomami and opening their land to mineral exploitation, is said to have broadcast radio messages telling prospectors to ignore the federal ban.By September, 5,000 miners were hunting gold on Yanomami land.With them came a new outbreak of malaria, influenza and tuberculosis, Garcia of the National Indian Foundation said by telephone from Brasilia.\u201cFrom the air, you can see them cutting large tracts of forest for airstrips and firewood,\u201d she said.\u2018The gold dredges are back and the miners are dumping mercury in streams, Killing the fish and making it impossible for the Ya- nomami to find drinking water.\u201d Dr.Giovanini Coelho, National Health Foundation director for Roraima, says 1,000 miners with shotguns and rifles have invaded villages in the heart of the reserve.RAIDED VILLAGE They raided a health clinic for food and threatened to kill the seven staff members unless they left, Coelho says.The medics were taken out by helicopter.The next day, several hundred state troopers ambushed the miners and arrested 225 after, a brief gunbattle.\u2018 Coelho-says most fled into the jungle.\u201cIt\u2019s a guerrilla war and the Ya- nomami are caught in the crossfire.\u201d\u2019 Disease has proved even more deadly.Up to 80 per cent of the Yanoma- mi have malaria, the Health Foundation says.Luis Pinheiro Borges, head of a Yanomami health task force, says venereal and skin diseases are spreading rapidly.\u2018\u2018A diarrhea epidemic, something we hadn\u2019t seen for a year, has started and it\u2019s leading to widespread malnutrition,\u201d he says.\u2018In many cases, we can\u2019t get to the sick because the jungle has become a shooting gallery.\u201d Did you know that.OLDEST NATIONAL PARK

recovers from Somalia By Shelley Page Ottawa Citizen OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A week after emerging from the insanity of starving Somalia, Canadian war surgeon Chris Giannou was ste- Wing in a New York jazz club, nursing a scotch on the rocks and chain-smoking his French Gitanes cigarettes.\u201cI made it here in less than a week,\u201d said the intense, wild- haired man.who has been called a modern-day Norman Bethune, after the Canadian doctor revered for his work in Spain and China more than 50 years ago.This is Giannou\u2019s shot of sanity, his \u201c\u2018quick fix\u2019\u2019 to cure the post- Somalja blues \u2014 a depression that hits when he leaves a war- ravaged, starving people.\u201cYou've got 500 people dying every day.Some just lie down on the roadside and never get up.It wears you down, it uses you.\u201cMost expatriate doctors only do it for a few months.Sometimes after a few weeks they have to get out.\u201d Toronto-born Giannou stayed in Somalia for 11 months.service broken only by short trips to nearby Nairobi.Kenya.Now.after a few nights in New York.he\u2019s back in Canada where fan mail and speaking engagements await him.Giannou, 43.opens one letter.À young German doctor writes that he\u2019s a \u201c\u2018fanatic\u2019 for Giannou after reading a magazine article about him and hopes the \u2018\u2018big-hearted\u201d doctor would write him back.Another stranger, a Canadian, has sent a drawing of Albert Einstein.\u201cI kind of think you\u2019ll look like this in your old age, or maybe this is how you feel now,\u201d the admirer writes.Giannou has the same floppy, carefree moustache as Einstein.Giannou says he tries to reply to all the letters.Awarded the Order of Canada in 1990 for his humanitarian work in conflict zones.Giannou gives advice to young doctors who want to follow in his footsteps, just as he wanted to follow in the footsteps of the crusading Bethune.But what advice can he give?How do you develop an allegiance to a suffering people half a world away?The son of Greek-Macedonian parents, he was never accepted by the other kids.At the same time, his parents taught him to care for others.Now he has no home address.no worldly possessions.no wife \u2014 much to his mother's dismay.He has often said: \u201cHome is not a physical place.it\u2019s a moral place.\u201d And there\u2019s more.CRAZY \u2018Pm crazy,\u201d he says.But compared with his present job as director of surgical operations for the International Committee of the Red Cross, he says.\u2018\u2018l\u2019ve been in worse.\u201d True.He spent almost three years as director of a hospital in the besieged Chatila Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.The camp was barely the size of a city block and he performed surgery underground.When he arrived in Somalia in February last year.he was a one- man team.acting as anesthetist, nurse and surgeon.Later, his three-person crew.known as \u2018\u2018Monty.Python\u2019s flying surgical cireus.\u2019\u2019 used twin- engined planes to reach places such as Baidoa at the centre of the famine.There they set up hospitals.some built from scratch.some in abandoned hospitals.They treated war wounds.Working by diesel-powered emergency lights in makeshift operating rooms, Giannou removed bullets and repaired limbs torn apart by land mines.And he taught the basics of war surgery to the handful of Somali doctors still left in the country.Giannou says he performed surgery on about 1,000 people in Somalia and supervised 1.500 other operations.He left the country with functioning hospitals and trained doctors.There are now two flying surgical teams.BECOME NUMB After 12 years as a war surgeon, Giannou says he\u2019s become numb.This doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s lost compassion.He just knows how to \u2018\u2018create distances.\u201d \u201cWhen you're cutting, it\u2019s a slab of meat.It has to be a slab of meat.Otherwise, you can\u2019t cut into human flesh.\u201d Now that he\u2019s out of the war zone, \u2018\u2018My feelings are coming out again.\u201d Giannou says international aid to Somalia should have come sooner.He complains that when the international community got involved on a grand scale, logistics got worse.There were \u2018\u2018twice as many Hercules (aircraft) delivering half as much food.\u201cYou multiply the logistical problems by a hundred, and the security problems, just to bring in the same amount of food.The world television crews descend on us.\u201cThen they all leave and we're left with the (mess).We\u2019ve got to pick that up.\u201d He can\u2019t predict if peace will come to Somalia.It\u2019s not up to the International Red Cross.Nor is he sure if he\u2019s going back, or where he might wind up next.\u2018\u2019Wherever I'm needed,\u2019 he

million dollars to Bishop\u2019s, as well as a $250,000 service contract, for the maintenance of Champlain facilities.\u201cIt\u2019s about 15 percent of our operating budget,\u201d said Bishop\u2019s Vice Principal of Administration Jean Luc Gregoire.Gregoire is quick to point out that the Quebec government, which finances Champlain College, is paying only the bare cost of operating on the Bishop\u2019s Campus.\u201cWe are not making an immediate profit.If Champlain was going to a commercial entrepreneur.they would pay the regular rate.\u201d Should any new problems arise.they will have to be dealt with in five years.\u201cThe reason it\u2019s (the contract) not longer\u201d claims Champlain Campus Director Darcy Ryan.\u201cIs that things could change.\u201d But both Gregoire and Ryan are pleased with the stability that the contract represents to both institutions.Said Grégoire: \u201cAt least for the next five years we know where we're going.\u201d The RECORD-\u2014Wednesday,

long.Scientists have often been considered to be amazing creatures who go in and discover phenomenal things which can kill us all.But they are also only men and women, and as such they need guidance.The men who built the atomic bomb did it because they could.Because of the wartime rush to develop the bomb, they didn\u2019t have a clear enough concept of the ethical implications of their work until it was much too late.There are notable exceptions.Albert Einstein, whose work in physics made the bomb possible, was terrified of the possibilities the bomb presented, and many others were equally strong in their condemnations of the Manhattan Project.But the problem remains because scientists who are opposed to some work are.drowned out by the chorus of apathy from the remainder of the scientific community.Let me illustrate.Genetic engineering has advanced at an alarming pace, but most researchers in this field continue to ignore that there are ethical implications for the work they are doing.The attitude of many scientists seems to be, \u201cif I can do it, I must be allowed to do it.\u201d Science must answer to no call other than the pursuit of knowledge.This has led to situations where science has progressed beyond ethical considerations.For example, scientists can now isolate the genes, which determine ihe sex of an embryo.Parents, theoretically, can now choose the sex of This type of problem was almost unheard of 100 years ago.when scientists were very concerned with the impact of their work.Matthew Arnold and Thomas Huxley often debated the ethical implications of scientific issues in the pages of London newspapers.debates which kept the public informed of developments in every field of study.This doesn\u2019t happen anymore.Researchers work away in their ivory towers of academia while real people go out and work for a living.Every so often a researcher talks to the media about his or her latest development in, for example, the isolation of a certain gene, but most of us media types know so little about science it\u2019s frightening.What happens is the circle remains unbroken.Because we ooh and ahh over everything scientists do, the public who read, listen or watch us believe science is the promised land, where all our questions will be answered and we\u2019ll finally know everything.But perhaps we will never know everything.For example, the Big Bang\" theory, in short, states the universe was started when an incredibly dense ball the size of a pea (or smaller) exploded and sent all its particles spinning off.Some of these particles re-formed into planets, stars, whatever.Scientists also speculate this is a cyclical process which the universe might keep repeating \u2014 contracting and expanding in this way forever.Here\u2019s the question \u2014 if the universe does keep expanding and contracting, what\u2019s on the other side of the edge of the universe?As it contracts, surely something has to be taking its place on the other side of its edge, so what is it?.TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Taxpayer , and child care groups joined forces Tuesday to criticize an Ontario government proposal to provide full-day school pro- : grams for children aged three : to five.: There are more pressing problems facing the government and the education system than _ creating new programs for children, said Paul Pagnuelo of the Taxpayers Coalition of On- \u2018Our recommendation is that the government shelve the proposal until the financial and academic problems of our existing school system are fixed,\u201d he told a news conference at the Ontario legislature.Faced with a $12.1 billion deficit for this fiscal year, Pa- gnuelo said the government can\u2019t afford expensive new programs because of the cost to taxpayers.The groups were reacting to age group is a lot of nurturing, they need a lot of of physical care, they need emotional support,\u201d said Jackie Cousins, who also testified before the legislature\u2019s finance committee.reports of a leaked cabinet document that shows the government is studying full-day education programs for preschoolers, although no costs have been released

Dunstan NANAIMO, B.C.(CP) \u2014 Lou Pelter was lying down when he \"had his stroke.It would have been just as easy for him to stay that way.But the 68-year-old retiree met too many people who wouldn't let him take it lying down.Thanks to therapy, he can now stand and walk a little, and he still has hopes of getting back to his beloved handyman tools.\u201cTherapy is something I wouldn\u2019t do if I wasn\u2019t forced to,\u201d he says.\u201cI'd as soon go to the dentist.But if you're going to get better, you're the guy that\u2019s got to do it.\u201d Strokes occur when the blood -supply to part of the brain is cut off, often as a result of clots or hardening of the arteries, damaging brain cells.It was last summer that Pel- ter had his stroke, early one morning while camping with his wife, Irene, and a grandson.\u201cThey tell me it was the 25th of July, but I can\u2019t really remember,\u2019\u201d\u2019 he says.\u2018\u2018Dates don\u2019t mean a thing to me anymore.\u201d When it came time to get up, he couldn\u2019t lift his left arm.When his wife tried to help him out of bed he ended up falling \u2019 under the camper table.\u2018\u2018I couldn\u2019t

OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The federal government is ready to force airlines to cut seating capacity if they don\u2019t do it themselves, Transport Minister Jean Cor- beil said Tuesday.\u201cWe are looking at our options for dealing with the situation and we haven\u2019t imposed any deadline,\u201d Corbeil said outside the Commons.\u201cBut we could legislate within weeks.\u201d Any government action would deal with seating capacity and could lead to fewer daily flights on some routes, officials said later.But it wouldn't affect ticket prices.The government could act next month, probably after the Commons returns from a one- week break on March 8.The most likely action would be to set minimum passenger loads for services between two cities, officials said.If those targets aren\u2019t met, the airline would have to reduce the number of daily flights on that route.Corbeil has been under growing pressure from airline executives toimpose a capacity reduction because they are unable to do it

now in the fifth year of its mandate.The legislation to formally ratify the trade deal with Mexico and the United States will be introduced in the Commons today or Thursday, Wilson said.À procedural motion paving the way for the bill was adopted Tuesday.The agreement, which covers 360 million consumers and about $7 trillion a year in economic production, is scheduled to take effect on Jan.1 \u2014 but only if legislation is passed in all three countries.Earlier in the Commons, opposition MPs continued to ask Wilson why he\u2019s moving so quickly when U.S.President Bill Clinton wants to negotiate two side deals with Mexico on labor standards and the environment.\u2018Would it not be fair for a government in the fifth year of the mandate to slow down a bit and wait to see what the Canadian people decide about the government,\u2019 said Liberal Leader Jean Chretien.\u201cBut we know you will not be re-elected and there will be some major changes in this bill,\u201d\u201d he told the Commons.Chretien\u2019s position on the deal is that he would seek changes to correct flaws in it.The New Democrats say it should be scrapped entirely.But Wilson shot back that Chretien was too cocky about his election prospects.\u201cThe drool coming out of the corner of my honorable friend's mouth is not becoming of him.\u201d said Wilson.\u2018He will not have an opportunity to.as he says.renegotiate the agreement.\u201d Wilson said later outside the Commons that legislation extending the Canada-U.S.deal to Mexico could be passed without getting ahead of the Americans and Mexicans.He said royal assent, a legal step needed to make a bill law, could still be delayed for the trade legislation right up until Jan.1.And.Wilson said Canada won't be part of the trade deal Bank

allowing them to defer payment of landing fees and other bills.**No airline is being let off the hook,\u201d the minister said.We have accommodated some airlines with financial problems.\u201d Airlines are billed monthly for the number of landings they make at Canadian airports.They are also supposed to send to the Revenue Department every month all the ticket tax money they have collected.Nationair has said it owes more than $4 million to the Revenue Department and more than $3 million to the Transport Department.It has been suspended from the International Air Traffic
