Secretary of state for science and tech Vanclief yesterday refused to com ment on any details of his proposed Aid package the fourth major government bailout in three did not deny that million has been part of discussions with farm the million has been a number that has been there is no question about Vanclief i cant say whether that is in the cards or not because those Are the kinds of discus Sions that Are before Cabinet right this latest response to the ongoing farm crisis would be new Money on top of the current farm safety which is Worth about billion a year from both Ottawa and the it is also an attempt by the liberals to buy some peace on an Issue that has produced no end of farm liberals Hope Calmer Waters which could be secured As part of a longer term pack age will allow them
