Dairy farmers protest quota reductions
By Murray Gaunt
Barry Parrott, Colleges and.
Universities Minister, ,said this
week he will make an
announcement within two weeks
about "differentials" in
university tuition fees for foreign
students.
Foreign students on stuck nt
visas comprise five per cent of
Ontario university under:
graduates and fifteen per cent of
graduate students,
It appears that Ontario has
decided to charge foreign
students a foreign student • fee
surcharge, and only the amount
remains to be decided.
A number of angry dairy
farmers , turned up at the
Legislature this week to protest
the recent milk quota reductions
of fifteen per cent by the Federal
Government.
The Provincial Government
also has an involvement through
the Ontario Milk Marketing
Board and also through the
provincial program called IMPIP,
which was a program the
Province announced in July of
1973 designed to encourage
industrial milk production in the
Province.
Now there is a surplus of milk ,
and many dairy producers feel
that, since they were encouraged
to increase 'production by the
Province, the Province .now has a
responsibility to assist them
through this difficult adjustment
period.
in conversations I have had
over the past number of weeks,
.and particularly the last few days,
with the Minister and Deputy
Minister of Agriculture, I am told
that - the Ministry -is studying
several alternatives to ,try and
assist producers to cope with their
reduced income due to the
cutback. '
The existing distribution
system for Wititario lottery tickets
will be scrapped when the
Olympic Lottery operation in
, Ontario is wound up, according to
Culture and 1Recreation. Minister
Robert Welch.
He indicated it will probably be
replaced with a system that
requires fewer . distributors,
generally handling more tickets,
once incomes have to be derived
from a single lotteiy. The official
agreement under which Olympic
Lottery tickets are sold in Ontario'
expires at the end of August.
