Mr. McKinley pointed to his
past achievements as the member
from Huron. He said he had serv-
ed as the Conservative agricultur

was through his efforts and those
Of his party that important chang-
es came about in Bill C-176 and

He took shots at government •
policies such as those which had
encograged diversification of -
farm production:in western Can-
ada which, he said, hurt Ontario
egg and hog producers." He said
that the present unemployment
insurance set up made it hard to
get farM help because the work- .
ers would rather draw unemploy-

he claimed the government rather

Mrs. Weary said NDP

.promises , she said , to set up 'a
farm 'machinery board which
would look after a machinery

standardization of farm machin-
ery and set up a program to en-

An NDP government would set \
up a commission to study the best

bring in a land bank which would

they would, not have to invest so

foreign and corporate takeover of
land and provide low-interest °
loans to young farmers to help

must be more planning in rural
communities with More decentra-
lization and, involvement of the
local people.
During the question period ,
Phil Durand', speaking for the Fed
eration claimed that farmers were
subsidizing low food prices
for consumers.. He said that farm
eis were suffering with low in-
comes in order to keep food
-Get some-
thing could be done to Stop this.
Mrs. Weary said that food pric-
es must be kept down but that the
.farmer should not be the one to
pay for low. prices. "If this'
means subsidizing the farmer ther
this must be done" she said.
Mr. McKinley claitned the
-yes_ enx_gimt_lp,s .a cheap
food policy and believes farmers
should be maintained only to
produce 'cheap food. The Con-
servatives ,'On the other hand, he
said , believe that if the fanner
is in good financial' shape, the
whole economy will be in good
shape.
M. Thomas replied that the
only cheap food policy ;he Liber-
als had was that they did a great
deal of research to find ways for
farmers to produce food as
cheaply as possible , thus allowing
the farmers to prosper while keep-
ing food prices down.'
