This morning, the Minister of Agric\ulture and Food. an- nounced a conference which he is convening in Toronto in. February. The titine of this. conference 'is to be "Grow- ' ing with Agriculture in the 80's". This latest announcement isjust another in a series of . conferences that this Ministry has hosted, design- ed to make the .public believe that his Ministry is .actively promoti'hg „agriculture in this province, The-fact is, however, that the Agriculture and Food budget is only half of one per should not have been collected in the first place.

At last month's Annual Convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, an Agriculture and Food Strategy for' Ontario. was fecommended to the govern- ment, This strategy pointed out the great opportunities presented to Ontario by our agriculture and listed a number of proposals for its development. The Minister forecast a doubling of corn production to farm groups anxious to pperate cold storage plants. We need more processing plants and grain handling facilities. We need a lifting of the present 3-year limit on research projects funded by. the government. We need to restore morale and confidence in our agricultural scientists, in the future of their work. We need to plan now so that our rivers and dams can handle the increased drainage waters. We need planning and legislation to prevent the Clinton Public Hospital has been given approval by the Ministry of Health to start planning immediately for a new addition that will offer expanded ambulatory services, including out- patient treatment, emergen- cy care and radiological ser-, Vices. Health Minister Dennis Timbrell said the .project supports the Ministry's con- tinuing emphasis on am- bulatory care program. As opposed to in-patient care, ambulatory care offers walk-in services for day sur- gery and out-patient treat- ment of an emergency or in- vestigative nature. Mr, Timbrell said the Clin- ton project includes planning erosion of land and the silting of our rivers and streams which will he caus- ed by increased cash-, cropping on Ontario soils. We need a recognition on the part of the Ontario government to the impor- tance of agriculture in this province and a commitment to food self-sufficiency. We don't need a series of government financed con- ferences just before a provincial 'election. We need action and com- mitment from this govern- ment to the future of Ontario Agriculture." - for the renovation of an older section of the hospital, which will house the physiotherapy and medical records department, and upgrading of the hospital's electrical system to comply with the new services. - The Ministry will finance two-thirds of the cost of the new addition, while the hospital will be responsible for the remaining one-third share. A fund-raising campaign, to get under way shortly, will be initiated by the hospital board to pay for its one-third share of the addi- tion. plus the entire cost of renovations and im- provements to the electrical system.
