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
