    RE .1
    
    	What about all the small businesses it will benefit??? I know
    some Canadians will be hurt by it, or maybe "inconvenienced" is a
    more appropriate word, but I see it as an opportunity for Canadians
    to really take advantage of the American Marketplace. Japan, Israel
    and the EEC would probably love to have an agreement in principle
    such as we do with the Americans. If we don't get one now, we'll
    only have to get one later and if later, I don't believe it will
    be as good as this one seems to be.
    
    I guess that makes me "Pro Free Trade"
