HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1976-05-05, Page 5Report from Queen's Park 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. ELECTRIC" 769 FENCE POSTS -1 bdi Complete, with anchor plate.
