Canada Looks to Unveil Foreign Ownership Policy
After four years of searching Ottawa plans to publish a new foreign investment policy before Christmas. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, in Washington with President Nixon, says background material will accompany the policy, with a possible January adjournment.

The proposal seeks changes to the Wheat Board and Grain Cash Advance Act to remove the $6,000 ceiling and may impose quotas on non board grain sales or purchase all grain at a floor price.
