Jack Riddell, Liberal MPP
(Huron-Middlesex) has issued a
statement concerning the
amendment to the Farm Income
Stabilization Bill which he had
proposed as his Party's.
Agriculture Critic.
"The Opposition Parties
combined, to vote against the
Government's farm income
stabilization legislation, and I
think it is important to make it
quite clear that, in so doing, it is
ou r firm intention to force the
Government to bring in a Bill
which will really assist the
farming community", said Mr.
Riddell. "Bill 96 is totally
inadequate in its present form,
and is little more than token
legislation - a rather empty
gesture to the farmers of Ontario.
"For this reason, I proposed -
and Murray Gaunt of Huron-
Bruce seconded - an amendment
to Bill 96, which would make the
plan one of protection rather than
insurance,' and 'on a voluntary
and contributory basis with the
government negotiating with
legally constituted • farm
spokesmen'. Our amendment
would also insist the Bill be
reintroduced no later than
October 31st of this year.
"The reasoned amendment to
the legislation supported by the
NDP and ourselves would
therefore read 'That Bill 96, An
Act respecting Farm. Income
Stabilization, be not read a
second time but be referred back
to the Government to have
incorporated therein principles of
a Farm Income Protection Plan
which would be open to the
producers of all farm products on
. a voluntary and contributory basis
with the Government negotiating
with legally constituted farm
spokesmen and with assurance
that the Government provide a
public forum for full discussion
with the farm community before.
re-introduction of the Bill and that
the Bill be re-introduced no laIer
than October 31, 1976.'
"Had the Government made an
honest attempt to bring in a form
of Farm Income Stabilization
which would have been effective
in giving our farmers a degree, of
income protection, we would not
have hesitated to give it our
approval. Hopefully, amended
legislation will be introduced in
the fall which will meet the needs
of the farmers, and win the
support of all three parties in the
Legislature."
