Dioxin exposure study planned in New Brunswick
About 200 men exposed to dioxin decades ago will be studied by the New Brunswick government. The project, led by Dr. David Walters, aims to assess long term health effects from Agent Orange like cancers and skin disorders among brush clearing workers from the late 1950s and 1960s. The study could inform Vietnam veterans concerns about dioxin linked health issues.

Beef income plan debated by cattlemen officials
Canadian cattlemen from provinces except Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Quebec met federal and provincial officials in Regina to discuss a national beef income stabilization plan. While broad agreement was reached, the group could not finalize a detailed program to curb price swings and debated whether to base the plan on market prices or production costs. Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan promoted a marketing board plan opposed by producers who doubt its viability.
