Daigle
appeal
Tuesday

OTTAWA (CP) — Chantal Daigle
can appeal a Quebec court ruling
barring her from having an abortion
and the federal government can be
heard in the case, the Supreme Court
of Canada decided Tuesday

The court agreed to hear Daigle’s
appeal next Tuesday. Ani official said
all nine justices will likely be on the
bench for the case

Meanwhile, the court gave the
federal government leave to intervene,
despite objections of lawyers for both
Daigle and Jean-Guy Tremblay, the
would-be father who got an injunction
against an abortion July7

Lawyers for Daigle said the jurisdic
tional question raised by Ottawa
would not solve Daigle’s problem.
Lawyers for Tremblay said the federal
and other interventions would only
delay the matter

Justice Minister Doug Lewis told
reporters the government won't be
arguing for either side when it makes
its point

“We will be arguing that the
question of entitlement to an abortion,
as it arises in this case, falls within the
exclusive legislative authority of
Parliament,” he said

CAN INTERVENE

Because Ottawa raised a jurisdic
tional issue, it was instructed by the
court to advise the provinces they may
intervene in the appeal if they wish

Also given leave to intervene were:

Real Wome
vative women's

Liberties
a conser-
group; Legal

group; the Campaign Life Coalition;
Physicians for Life; and the Canadian
Abortion Rights Action League

Intervener status means all these
parties get to make their point briefly
at the hearing

Meanwhile, the injunction remains
in effect and time is running out for

family in Chibougamou, Que., is

about to enter the 22nd week of her
pregnancy — too late for an abortion
in her native province. Abortions can
be legally, performed in the United
States up to the 24th week

The gourt will hear her appeal on
Aug. 8 and she will need a relatively
quick, favorable decision to have her
abortion.

“She will be starting her 24th
week on Aug. 20,’ said Daniel
Bedard, her lawyer. ‘1 am convinced
that before she reaches the 24th week
she will have her decision.””

NO ABORTION LAW

The Supreme Court took 18 months
to decide the abortion law.was uncon
stitutional in January 1988. Canada
has been without an abortion law sin:
ce

Henfi Kelada, Tremblay’s lawyer,
said he expects the court will move with
unusual speed in reaching its decision,
but the justices won’t be stampeded in-
toan unduly hasty ruling

Spectators began lining up outside
the, Supreme Court at 7 a.m. to hear
the court's decision. The 50-seat cour
troom quickly filled up when the doors
opened at 9 a.m.

Demonstrators against abortion
lined up behind barrigades patrolled by
Mounties and held placards urging
Daigle not to havean abortion.

Daigle was on her way to a Sher-
brooke, Que., hospital to have an
abortion when she learned Tremblay
had obtained the court injunction. The
Quebec courts ruled the fetus has a
right tolife.

Law
on way,
MP says

FORT McMURRAY, Alta, (AP)
The federal Justice Department is
drafting a new abortion law, says
member of Parliament Jack Shields

Any new law will be a compromise
between the extreme positions ad.
vocated by anti-abortion and_ pro:
choice groups, he said Tuesday in a
telephone interview from Ottawa

“We have no draft a law that isn't a
violation of the Charter of Rights and
Freedoms,’ Shields said

“If we draft one that says no abor
tions the Supréme Court will probably
throw it out becaue it would be a
violation of the woman's rights. If we
go the opposite way, allowing abortion
under any circumstances, The courts
will probably throw that out too.

The Supreme Court of Canada over-
turned the law covering abortions last
year. It ruled the system of hospital
committees which decided whether a
woman could have an abortion was not
consistent across the country

The issue has been further com
plicated by men who claim to be the
father of the fetus applying to the cour
ts to prevent women from having an
abortion.

The draft abortion law should be
ready sometime in the fall when
Parliament resumes sitting, Shields
said

Justice Department officials were
not available for comment.

Bush's visits draws comments

MOSCOW (AFP) — Any effort by the United States to exploit

The Soviet news agency Tass reported Gorbachev said Bush's visits

Spending tops $1 trillion

WASHINGTON (REUTER) Military spending worldwide ex.
ceeded $1 trillion for the first time in 1987, but the rate of defence spen
ding has slowed significantly, said a U.S. report

The report on world military expenditures by the U.S. government's
Arms Control and Disarmament Agency said ballistic missiles were
spreading through the developing world, aggravating political instability

Some developing countries were also gaining the capacity to make
missiles without outside help.

Dollar estimates were higher when spending on arms was converted
from other currencies to dollars because of the declining relative value of
the U.S. currency, the report said.

However, the rate of military spending was slowing and, in real ter
ms, growth virtually stopped in 1987, the report said.

Public scrutiny unavoidable

EDMONTON (CP) — Governments are inviting public confron
tation when they don’t do environmental impact assessments on major
projects, says Manitoba Premier Gary Filmon

“If you try to avoid public scrutiny, people will never be satisfiea
with the ultimate development decision,
ter aspeech in Edmonton

“You might as well get it all on the table to begin with and let the
public have all their questions answered.

Filmon said in an interview af

Filmon said his province is required to do such an assessment on any
major project. Some — such as a major Manitoba potash development
require at least two public hearings before they are approved, he said

Random testing said needed

TORONTO (CP)
system of out-of-competition drug
testing is the only way to end an
epidemic of steroid use in international
sport, the Dubin inquiry was told
today

Dr. Robert Dugal, head of Mon:
teal’s Olympic drug testing lab, admit
ted the existing drug testing system,
although sophisticated,
because standard urine tests used to
detect steroids are now given only
during competitions.

Fhe inquiry has been told athletes
have easily beaten the system by
discontinuing steroid use a few weeks
before a meet

“Only the careless and ill-advised
get caught,"’ said Dugal, whose lab
tests Canada’s national athletes and
thousands of U.S. college athletes

A system of “random, unannoun
ced testing — any time, any place’’ is
the only way to beat cheating, Dugal
testified

Communist minister
elected Polish leader

WARSAW (AP) Poland's
parliament elected today Interior
Minister Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak prime
minister ina victory for the long-ruling
Communist party, whose power has
been eroding.

On Tuesday, parliament had post
poned a vote on giving the government
leader's post to Kiszczak, the Com-
munist nominee, and some deputies
said the Communist-allied Peasant
party was seeking a government
dominated by Solidarity, the country’s
independent trade union movement

Leaders of the movement opposed
Kiszczak’s candidacy

But parliament's lower house, the
Sejm, voted 237-to-172 with 10 absten-
tions today for Kiszczak, a close
associate of President Wojciech
Jaruzelski

The required majority was 211
votes

The ruling Communist coalition
holds a 299-161 majority in the cham.

173 votes

Legislators of the allied Peasant and
Democratic parties — which used to

out-of-competition testing is gaining
momentum, he said, adding the Inter
national Olympic Committee and
other bodies are all moving on the idea.

On Tuesday, Dugal told the inquiry
that sprinter Ben Johnson and his
Olympic teammates managed to cheat
for years despite the system designed to
catch them

He admitted that it’s a *cat-and-
mouse game’? attempting to update
testing procedures against the use of
steroids, the drugs that cost Johnson a
gold medal at last fall’s Seoul Olympics
and sparked the inquiry

Following a month-long break, the
inquiry was told that Olympic labs
around the world subject the urine
samples to eight different testing
processes.

Using a series of charts and graphs,
Dugal spent most of his 4% hours on
the stand explaining how the sample is
first broken down to identify foreign
substances.

Communists lost a key parliament vote
for the first time in postwar Poland as
Solidarity pushed through a resolution
to investigate the outgoing gover-
nment for economic misconduct.

The trade union movement believes
the government of Mieczyslaw
Rakowski — now Communist party
chief — should be held accountable for
the unravelling of the economy during
its nine months in office.

Poland, convulsed by consumer
shortages and triple-digit inflation,
suffered further Tuesday when price
controls werre lifted on .meat, sugar
and other basic commodities.

SET UP COMMISSION

After a Sejm speech by Communist
floor leader Marian Orzechowski, in
which he charged such an investigation
would not be fair, the deputies voted
206-169 with 31 abstentions to create
the commission anyway

The commission would decide if
there were legal grounds to refer
government misconduct to the State
Tribunal, which handles prosecutions

tron beam and the results are fed intoa

Despite the scientific detective
work, Dugal’s testimony stood in con
trast to earlier evidence given by
Charlie Francis, Johnson's coach

Because the tests can only identify
recent steroid use and are administered
only at competitions, Francis ex
plained it was easy for Johnson and
others to beat the system by discon:
tinuing use of the drugs a few weeks
before a meet

As the probe entered its final lap,
Mr. Justice Charles Dubin said in a

The federation said last month.that
athletes who admit under oath to using
the banned drugs will be stripped of

Dubin criticized the federation for
steps he called ‘“‘misconceived and
counter-productive.””

The Ontario Track and Field
Association took a similar stand in
April, deciding to erase the provincial
records of athletes who admit to
cheating,

Dubin criticized the group at the
time, saying the would
