Ontario MPP’s from op
posing sides took potshots at
each other Tuesday in the
legislature.
Jack Riddell
Middlesex), the
agriculture critic,
to statements made about
him by Middlesex Con
servative Bob Eaton.
Riddell complained that
Eaton had accused him in a
press release of “playing
games with the interests of
agriculture” over the oc
cupational health and safety
bill.
Eaton had said Riddell
was being “completely
irresponsible” in trying to
convince farmers that it was
the Liberals who are at
tempting to get agriculture
exempted from the
provisions of the bill.
Eaton’s charges, said
Riddell, are “erroneous.” He
said the Liberals moved an
amendment to the bill in ,
committee to exempt farms
unless they were designated
by regulation and it was
defeated by the Con
servatives on the committee,
including Eaton and the
NDP.
Eaton said later outside
the house that the govern
ment had never intended
that farms be included, but
the NDP and the Liberals
had passed an amendment
making the bill apply to
everyone.
He said it originally was
drafted to cover only in
dustrial, mining* and con
struction sectors.
Eaton said he and the
other Conservative mem- •
bers of the committee i
decided to vote against the ]
subsequent Liberal amend- ;
ment to. exclude farms ]
because it wasn’t fair to the i
other groups which had
(Huron-
Liberal
objected
Riddell accused Dr.
Stephenson and “her sup
porters over their including
the member for Middlesex”
of “holding farmers of this
province as hostages.”
The government is saying,
said Riddell that farmers
shouldn’t be covered by the
provisions of, the bill, but
won’t agree to exclude them,
“unless the minister gets
her way on other aspects of
Bill 70 that are., completely
unrelated.”
The government is upset
with some of the amend
ments passed by the Liberals
and the NDP, particularly
the one widening the
jurisdiction of the bill.
Eaton said the objections
the government has to the
changes made in the bill by
orginally been exempt to
cir-
“unrelated” to the question
of inclusion of farms.
He said that because of the
problems with the bill, he
didn’t know what the status
of the bill is now or when it
would be debated in the
legislature.
Riddell said later it would
be “ludicrous” for farms to
come under provisions
meant to apply to the mining
industry. He said the
agriculture industry wants
single out farming for
exemption.
He said Labor Minister
Bette Stephenson had of
fered to talk with groups
such as farmers and
policemen and other public
employees to see how
specific regulations could be
drafted under the bill to suit
their particular
cumstances.
Eaton said the application
of certain parts of the bill
that were designed for the some input into specific
mining or construction in
dustry “don’t make sense”
when applied to the farmer
or the policeman.
In the house, Eaton told
Riddell that the truth hurts
you. He stuck by his earlier
statments about Riddell,
saying they were “right on.”
the opposition aren’t
regulations which would be
suitable for farms.

Police officers need all the
appreciation they 'can get,
according to former Ontario
Police Commission chair
man Elmer Bell, and more
than 400 persons turned out
at the Pineridge Chalet
Saturday night to show the
police they care.
It was the fourth annual
police appreciation night
sponsored by District 31 of
the Knights of Columbus,
and organizers said the
event is intended to promote
public awareness^ of and
support for the work of the
police. ! .
BelT, who was guest
speaker, said that often “the
public doesn’t overdo it on
appreciation for their
policemen —■ and it’s felt
within the forces.”
The result, he said, is often
frustration for the police
officers:
He said that society tends
to hand over all respon
sibility to the police. But, he
added, “the policemen are
part of the public and the
public must be part of the
police . . . Otherwise the
policemen’s efforts will be
futile.”
Bell said he doesn’t know
how to solve the problem of
isolation of the policemen
from their communities.
“The forces encourage
their policemen to make an'
effort to become, involved in
the commu'hit^hut because
of a policeman’s1 hours that
can be difficult.” , y'
He said if the isolation
continues, it will tend to
create a “we-them feeling
instead of an us feeling.”
