Canada is not being singled out.for scrutiny or condem- nation in this regard. “I was surprised that some Canadian papers have been publishing things before I make any statement.”” In Ottawa, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said that if any Canadian is trying to get around the arms embargo, he will put a stop to it. And a spokesman for the External Affairs Department said Ottawa has no evidence that Canadian military.sup- plies are being sent to South Africa. South Afnica’s main anti-apartheid group said Tuesday that Canada should tighten trade restrictions after a report showed an increase in trade between the two countries last year ‘IT’S NONSENSE Alfred Nzo, secretary general of the African National Congress, told the conference that the surging trade makes Canada’s anti-apartheid position nonsense. Statistics Canada figures last month showed Canadian imports from South Africa and a 44-per-cent jump in ex ports to the country last year. External Affairs Minister Joe Clark, who is heading the meeting, said san- ctions against South Africa are ap- propriate, and the pressure will be maintained. The Harare conference — also at tended by foreign ministers from Zim babwe, Guyana, India, Tanzania, Nigeria, Zambia and Australia — plans to examine ways to strengthen the UN arms embargo on South Africa and the effectiveness of financial san- ctions The conference is part of efforts to put_pressure-on South Africa to-end apartheid, a policy in which the white minority rules the country and the Black majority has no say. The Toronto Globe and Mail quoted Shamuyarira as saying: ‘1 am infor- med that there are certain Canadian companies that are shipping arms and equipment via other countries’ to South Africa He made the statement on Sunday and repeated it in a second interview Monday, the newspaper said. It added he refused to provide details. Snapper Fillets Fresh ¢ B.C. 66° /kg. 999 Fresh Carrots California Grown * No. 1 Grade 55° /kg. $ lbs. Medium Onions Yellow B.C.
