43. Mr. Oakes

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what progress he has made in the current discussions with the Argentine Government on the level of imports of beef.

Mr. Mackie

We have discussed with the Argentine Government ways and means of safeguarding the stability of our beef market, and the reasons for doing so. The Argentine Government accept in principle the desirability of a stable beef market and we are actively pursuing our proposals with them.
