The concept of the People's Enquiry was to gather information on the implications of CFMETR by inviting a number of experts in various fields to give papers on selected topics. The idea of having an open meeting was to provide the public with the answers which were denied them when the government turned down requests to hold a public meeting. Major-General Leonard Johnson retired one of the three distinguished panelists said of the Enquiry it was "an attempt to obtain facts to inform the public and to influence the activities that bear on the security of the people of Canada. Defence agreements can lead with changes in strategy and technology to unforseen and unintended consequences inimical to the security of Canadians. Because they are made and implemented in secret beyond public security such agreements are not subject to democratic control by an informed electorate as all agreements affecting the lives of people should be. This is especially serious where nuclear weapons are involved." Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding sound. Nice copy. Gabriola Island Peace Association Paperback
