BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. HURON -BRUCE
After a summer recess . the
Ontario Legislature re -opened on
;Tuesday, 22nd October, to witness
•,the • installation of Russell Rowe,
Member for Northumberland, as
the New Speaker in the House. He
was escorted into the .Chamber by
.the Leader of the Opposition Party,
;Bob Nixon and the Premier Bill
Davis. The former Speaker Allan
#Reuter retired due to poor health.
I asked a question of the Minister
of Agriculture and Food about what
he is prepared to do for the pullet
growers in view of the fact that the
conversion privilege no longer
applies.
The egg producers, pullet grow-
ers, the hatcheries, the processors
and the egg breakers comprise the
newly formed advisory committee,
and the Minister also said; ."I hope
they will be able to find a solution
themselves.''
In a Supplementary 1 asked that,
since the Judge Ross Report
recommended that egg production
and pullet facilities be frozen, and
theGovernment froze the egg,
production facilities as of April 20,
1972 would the Minister consider
as an alternative approach freezing
the: pullet grower facilities as of
now. Mr. Stewart said that he
understood the Advisory Commit-
tee had that alternative under
consideration.
inflation is a major problem
facing all governments at the
moment, and under this theme
Liberal Leader Bob Nixon tabled a
motion of nonconfidence in- the
Government, to be debated in the
Legislature next week. Mr. Nixon
in the motion criticizes the govern-
ment's "failure to bring forward
effective programmes to moderate
the inflationary pressures on the
cost of living."
if low prices for feeder cattle
continue there may be no sources
of beef in Ontario in 1977-78,
Ontario Agriculture Minister Bill
Stewart said this week. Mr.
Stewart was asked in the. Legisla-
ture what action he proposed to
take in view of the 40 million dollar
interest free loans being offered
beef producers in Saskatchewan
and Alberta. Mr. Stewart said the
cattle are selling for less because
the cost of feeding them has
escalated so greatly over the past
number of months. The fear is.
that if, present prices continue for
feeder cattle a cow slaughter will,
