Tory MPP Frank Drea (Scar-
borough Centre), insisted that
Ontario _should "register the
character of the person who owns
firearms, not withstanding the
fact the federal government has
jurisdictional rights to deal with
handguns."
Drea wants the Ontario govern-
ment "to see the people who have
rifles and who have handguns. It
means that they are going to
come to us and they are going to
have to tell us what they want
them for." '
In'a speech which drew furious
heckling from opposition MPP's
Drea snapped: "I know all of the
yahoos and rednecks from the
farm country are going to say this
sort of legislation will take away

"Careful now," an honourable

Huron Liberal Jack Riddell
retorted: "This will male good

"I suggest to you, sir," Drea
countered, "that the time has
come for gtin control in this
province and if the Yahoos 'don't
like it, let them stand up and run
against it."
Riddell threw the challenge
back. "If the member wants to
come into my riding we'll go and
visit these people he is calling
yahoos. Stop referring to the rural
people as being yahoos."
"Who 'is going to be affected?"

Environment Minister William
Newman' and his deputy Everett
Biggs are to be congratulated for
taking a second look at new
pesticide regulations as they
affect the casual farmer-spray-
operator, Gordon Hill, president
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture says.
(New regulations under the
Paticides Act were introduced
this spring. This week the
Ministry announced it will
temporarily waive Ontario regula-,
tion 618-74 pending further
study.)
"The °FA °recognizes the
serious consequences that can
result from misuse of modern
chemical pesticides and herbi-
cides, Hill said. "For this reason,
we support stringent pesticides
rules.
'However, it.now appears that
farmers , who have regularly
sprayed three or four neighbour-
ing foms will give up this limited
custom mirk. 'Too much time,
effort and cost is required to
become licensed.” ,
The net result of this wide-
spread farmer attitude will be
more weeds and lower "crop
yields, Hill pointed out.

tion and Pesticides committee
