(By Jack Riddell, M.P.P.)
The Minister of Agriculture
announced the establishment of a
financial protection , task force to
review methods of protecting
farmers against default of
payment for their products. In
making the announcement, Mr.
Newman said he is concerned
about a situation where a prod-
ucer sells his entire crop or
livestock to one or two buyers and
then, because of difficulties
experieficed by the buyers,
maybe unable to collect all or part
of the payment due him.
The bankruptcies of various
packing plants within recent
" years and the concern expressed
by the ptoducers who have lost a
large amount of money because of
these bankruptcies, has resulted
in such 'a Task Force being
'established, so that some deter-
' urination might be made as to the
best method of, extending finan-
cial protection to producers. Mr.
Newman said the Task Force will
examine existing Provincial'
programs , and also look at
methods used in other jurisdic-
tions. The Task Force will ask
individuals and interested organi-
zation§ to submit briefs and
comments.
Publication of the. revised
Agricultural Code OrPratticerof
Ontario, was announced by the
' Minister of Agriculture and Food.
The Code as revised by the
Ministries of Agriculture and
Food, Housing and Environment,
provides guidelines for the
managenient of livestock opera-
tions to minimize probleps of
odour from manure.
The 'new edition of the. Code
contains minimum distance form-
ulas to keep rural residences a
reasonable distance from
livestock buildings and manure
concentrations. The formulas take
into account such variables as the
type of 4'i-restock, the number of
animals, the type of manure
system and manure storage. The
Code's guidelines apply to the •
design location and manure
management system of pew live-
stock buildings, the renovation or
expansion of existing livestock
operations and the control of
water pollution caused by
animals watering at streams,
ponds or lakes, They also
discourage open' manure lagoons
and govern the disposal of dead
animals.
In its original. form the code
reduced problems for neighbours
of livestock operations, but
provided the operators with little
protection from encroachment by
ether types of development,
particularly, rural non-farm
residential development. The
minimum distance formulas had'
been designed to help provide
such protection.
Municipalities will be encour-
aged to incorporate the provisions
of the Code into their official
plans and zoning bylaws. A model
bylaw is being developed by
Hilton County. When it receives'
approval from the Ontario Muni-
cipal Board, the model bylaw will
be offered to other municipalities
Which may uses it 'or modify it to
suit local conditions.
The Agricultural Code of Prac-
tice was originally drawn up in
1970 and has since gained wide
acceptance by farmers. Its
Success has been the result of the
high degree of co-operation
among farmers, farm Organiza-
tions, municipal officials and the
Government of Ontario, The new
version was drafted in cOnsulta-
lion with the Ontario Federation
cif Agriculture. Because of its
positive reaction by farmers the
code is not compillsory. Farmers

who plan changes to their! opera-
tions are encouraged to apply for
a certificate of compliance, which
will be issued. jointly by the
Ministries Of Agriculture and
Food and Environment after an,
appraisal of the proposed
changes.
The Attorney General has
indicated support for a suggestion
that drivers be allowed to appeal
lengthy licence suspensions.
Albert Roy, ' Liberal M.P.P.
(Ottawa East), has suggested that
a judge might impose a 15 year
licence suspension even though a
driver could be fully rehabilitated
after five or ten years. Under
proposed legislation, Ontario
judges would be able to impose
up to a life-time licence
suspensions. He asked the Attor-
ney General whether Ontario
intends to set up an appeal
mechanism now that licence
suspensions are a provincial
matter. The Attorney General
said suspensions of more than
three years would relate only to
criminal 'offences where there is a
possible penalty of life imprison-
naent..Hovvever, he said he agrees
in principle that a mechanism
should be established to deal with
the new changes in legislation.
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
toidhthe LegiSfattire,thi s'Week=th at*
at least Iwo employees at a small
Hamilton firm have developed
lung diseases which appear to be
caused by asbestos fibres. He
raised the matter while criticizing
the Ministry of Health for
inadequate inspection of indust-
rial plants, asked the Minister to
investigate the company in quest-
ion, and. submitted for analysis a
'sample of dust from the premises.
The Minister indicated that his
Ministry is experiencing some
difficulty in recruiting occupa-
tional health inspectors. Appar-
ently there isa world-wide short-
age of qualified people in this
field. He indicated that the
Ministry's main responsibility is
'to set, standards for occupational
health, with the Ministries of the
Environment, Natural Resources
and Labour carrying out most of
the inspections. •
The Leader of the Opposition
gias charged the Minister of
Community and Social Services
with trying to pull a —veil of
secrecy" over. information the
public is entitled to have. He •
made public an internal memor-
andum which the Minister sent to
officials within the Ministry,
ordering that any communication
subject to his authority be
deemed . confidential until he
approved it for ,publication. The,
memo, ' dated' the 19th May,
makes a distinction "between
"information" which should 'be
readily available and "intelli-
gence" which should not. Infor-
mation, according to the Minis-
ter., is "factual, quantitative data,
such as numbers, names, dates,
locations, etc- of services and
Ucilities of the Ministry properly
in the public domain." Intelli-
gence is described as "reports,'
correspondence, conceptual.
ideas, propoals, programs,
projects, procedures, etc. - not to
be made public knowledge unless
and until considered ,such by the
MilliSfer" ,
Liberal M.P.P. Albert Roy told
the Legislature that police
suspect people involved in organ-
' ized *crime are among the main
beneficiaries of profit from
pornographic material. He asked
the Attorney-General to confirm
suspicions that Capital Distribu-
ting Co. Canada Ltd. 'and its
owners "are known or suspected
by police to have some association
with organized crime." Capital
Distributing, a subsidiary, of
U.S.-owned Capital Distributors,
headed by John Santangelo of
Derby, Conn., U.S., has been
charged with distributing obscene
publications. The Attorney
General. indicated he had no
specific information which would
link the distribution of pornogra-
phic material to organized crime.
I further pursued the Better
Beef lease arrangement with the
Ontario Government, .for the
Essex Packers operation at the
Guelph Correctional Centre
Plant. I asked the Minister of
Labour, Dr. Bette Stephenson,
that in view of the fact that it now
appears 'that the Minister • of
Correctional Services, inadvert-
ently misled the House, when he
said that the lay-off at Essex
Packers was for the reason of
taking inventory. This reason is
now seen to be. incorrect as there
was no inventory to take other
than a small quantity of hams in
storage in the United States and
$100,000 worth of supplies in the
Hamilton plants which had
already been accounted* for, and
in view of the fact that the real
reason for the lay-off is Better
Beef's attempt to circumvent the
provisions of the Employment
Standards Act. The Act requires
that a lessee deemed to be a
successor corporation is legally
liable for severance pay. I asked
that the Minister firstly investi-
gate this manoeuvre on the part
of Better Beef, to ensure that the
employees Who were laid off will
receive severance pay. Secondly,
I asked, that she confer with the
Minister of CorrectiOnal ServiceS
to determine if this action on the
part of Better Beef could not be
considered to be sufficient
grounds for terminating the
assignment of the lease to the
DeJonge Brothers for the Guelph
Abbatoir.
The Minister glibly replied that
in response to my passionate
dissertation, she could only say
"yes" and "yes".
It is my understanding that the
Minister met with 'the DeJonge
Brothers the- following day.'
