Canada raises eastern European refugee quota to 1000
Immigration Minister Lloyd Axworthy told a Ukrainian festival crowd in Dauphin that Canada will boost eastern European refugee intake by 1000 this year. A staff group will invite 1000 Poles displaced by eastern Europe’s turmoil from Austrian camps, with 200 additional Africans also allowed. Canada funds 22.4 million in Africa aid and uses a 2500 reserve quota to meet the higher targets.

Beef producers split over national beef marketing plan
Jim Harkness, organizer of the Canadian Beef Producers Action Group, says the new lobby body seeks a national beef stabilization plan tied to production costs and will lobby Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan and back Senator Harry Hayes on a marketing scheme. The Regina meeting drew representatives from Western Canada Cow-Calf Association, Canadian Independent Agricultural Producers and others who warn of a growing producer split between reformers and those opposing change. If key regional associations do not back the plan, anti marketing groups may lose farmer support.
