There will be a rally and march to hold Jean Chretian and the Federal
Liberal government to their election promise to intervene in the Clayoquot
controversy at the Vancouver Art Gallery on Sunday, December 5, 1993 at noon.

In April of 1993, Federal Liberals Paul Martin and Marlene Catterall
proclaimed that a Liberal government would call on the B.C. Provincial 
government to halt logging in Clayoquot Sound and would intiate
negotiations to extend the boundaries of personally confirmed this
position in a letter to IWA president G.A. Stoney dated July 12, 1993. 
Two days after the election, Prime Minister Chretien said that the federal
government would not pay any compensation for the transfer of provincial
lands and resources into federal jurisdiction, but would rather "wait" for
the provincial government to "hand over" the territory.

The intention of this rally is to pressure the Federal government into
taking an active stance in bovernment to government negotiations between
the Provincial government and the First Nations to protect Clayoquot Sound.
