Ed" Starr,. Secretary Manager, Ontario Plowmen'at'Association will he the feature speaker, (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 USE EXPOSITOR WANT W ADS Phone 527-0240 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.'
