The rally is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 9, beginning at 10:30 a.m., at the steps of City Hall in St. Thomas, Ontario. Mr. Wise has agreed to attend the rally and hear representatives from farmers and their organiza- tions regarding their demand for a re-instatement of the Farmers' Creditors Arrangements Act.

"Until such legislation is in place, we insist the federal govern- ment extend the current morator- ium on FCC farm foreclosures to include all farm foreclosures, " Mr. Langlois said. "Politicians have always told us if farmers could agree on a solution, we'd have a better change of getting government action. "We have-accepted that challenge, and now expect the federal government to act on our demand for legislation," Mr. Langlois said.
