- That this National Executive Council of the Anglican Church of Canada adopt the following policy and urge that policy upon the Canadian government:
- 1. That urgent measures be undertaken to cancel outstanding debt owed by sub-Saharan African countries including debts to the Export Development Corporation and to the Canadian Wheat Board.
