Early passage asked by OFA The Ontario Federation of Agriculture has asked all federal parties to assist early passage of national marketing legislation for farm products. In a statement made last week, Gordon Hill, President of the OFA, said, "We need unanimous agreement by the present session of the Parliament of Canada to continue consideration of Bill C-197 in the next session which starts on Thursday. Without unanimous agreement, Bill C-197 must be reintroduced as new legislation. "The recent constitutional conference made it clear that our governments favour the early passage of this legislation. Now is the time for Members of Parliament to show us that they meant it." "I would like the farmers of Ontario to contact their Members of Parliament to advise them that this legislation is needed — and needed now. Further delay will certainly hurt the interests of all farmers." The polite man never enters a room without first opening the door. Enjoying the simpler things in life comes much more easily if you happen to be wealthy. It's a mark of success when your name is in everything but the telephone directory.
