Answer:
Question 8. *We applaud the government's removing tariff restrictions to imports from the 48 Least Developed Countries. We might consider further debt forgiveness.
*Our satellite industry could enhance communications for health care, education, and government aid and NGO projects.

We should work to further compliance by multinational corporations with agreements on ecological issues, child labour. "Fair trade" principles, as promoted by NGOs, should be incorporated in international trade practices.
