SHEEP FROM N.Z. AND AUSTRALIA
Canadians Seek To Reduce Imports
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) LETHBRIDGE (Alberta),
August 20 A Western Canadian delegation will go to Ottawa next week to ask for Canadian import restrictions on New Zealand and Australian sheep. Mr Deane Gundlock. Progressive Conservative Party member of Parliament for Lethbridge, who will head the group, said western sheep growers were in a critical position because of a United States embargo, and because they were being squeezed out of the Canadian market by heavy imports of New Zealand and Australian sheep. The United States embargo, he said, was placed by Montana authorities against Canadian s ieep and lambs crossing the Alberta border
The delegation will meet members of the Federal Cabinet to ask that Canadian producers be assured the Canadian market during flush periods of marketing. “There is a definite place in Canada for New Zealand and Australian sheep,” said Mr Gundlock. “Avoiding disaster to Canada's industry lies in the regulation of imports.”
