Continued from page 10curriculums• Increase consultation with farmers and rural Ontarians before implementing programs that will impact them • Schools become community hubs to offer local and government services “Agriculture has always been a major priority for me,” said Pettapiece, who also serves as the PC Deputy Critic to the Minister of Agriculture. “In so many areas, thegovernment is harming agriculture.Farmers face too much red tape, high energy costs, and now taxes on farm tires that are the highest in Canada – and the list goes on.” “It is important to get the different stakeholders in the agri-food industry and from small town Ontario together in one room to discuss how we can move forward, create more jobs and grow the economy,” said Thompson. “For Ontario to recover from the burdenof over-regulation and debt, we needthriving urban and rural sectors. The Ontario PC Party is the only one listening to what people need, and I am proud of the fact stakeholders will see their input reflected in our “Respect for Rural Ontario” white paper. ” “I think the agriculture and food stakeholders appreciate how highly motivated our party is to position Ontario as a strong leader in jobs, growth and long-term prosperityand especially so when it comes toour rural communities,” said Walker. “Our white paper is all about turning rural Ontario into a powerhouse by focusing on programs that farmers need to compete and succeed. When they succeed, the rest of Ontario will follow. It’s a positive for all.” In March, Thompson and Pettapiece joined PC Leader Tim Hudak in Listowel, where Hudak unveiled part of the agriculture white paper. Later that week, Hudaklaunched the entirety of the whitepaper in Wellington County.PCs release several rural-focused white papers Business Directory Affordable CAR AND TRUCK RENTALS Large & Small Trucks fridge carts - piano dollys- moving blankets Complete Selection of Cars Our rates qualify for insurance replacement Passenger Vans full size or mini GODERICH TOYOTA 344 Huron Rd. 519-524-9381 GODERICH 1-800-338-1134 NEW CONSTRUCTION AGRICULTURAL RENOVATIONS RESIDENTIAL Call 519-527-1538 Tarion Home Warranty Builders THE ZAHND TEAM P.O.
