Canadian cattlemen seek equal footing in beef import pact
Charlie Gracey of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association told the Commons agriculture committee that Canada should press trading partners to adjust the beef import agreement. He argues Canada allows more imports per capita and that the guaranteed minimum access of 139 million pounds should be cut to 125 million to match the United States.

Canada considers cap on imported beef amid GATT terms
Gracey urges national bill to limit yearly beef imports to Canada, excluding live cattle. He favors adjusting the quota formula to boost imports when domestic supplies are tight and cut them as Canadian cattle rise, noting GATT rules will influence the bill. He warns lower consumption could favor foreign suppliers and keep prices low. He cites 1980 potential imports of 171 million pounds versus a fair 148 million. Gracey opposes any cattle import limit from the United States.

Three lawyers for Quebec's government warn that a federal charter endorsed by Prime Minister Trudeau could render more than 50 Quebec laws invalid or vulnerable. They cite equality before the law, land sale rules, professional admissions, Catholic privileges, subsidies, and Bill 101 as areas at risk while noting expanded federal court power and reduced provincial legislative scope.
