Bill which, he had proposed as
-
s is Party's Agriculture Critic. h
"The Opposition Parties combiun-
d to vote against the Govern
n
- e
merit's farm income stabilizatio
egislation, and I think it I l s
r mportant to make it quite clea i
that, in so doing, it is our firm
i t intention to force the Government
bring in a Bill which will really t
, assist the farining community"
aid Mr. Riddell. "Bill 96 is totally s
inadequate in its prese
•
t form, and
s little -more than token legislation 'i
- a rather empty gesture to the
f armers 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 voluntary and contribu-
t t ory basis with the governmen
negotiating with legally constituted
farm spokesmen'. Our amendmen t
would also insist the Bill b e
reintroduced no later than Octobe r
. • 31st of this year.
"The reasoned amendment to
legislation supported by th the e
HDP, and ourselves would therefor e
read 'That 'Bill 96, , An Act
respecting Farm Income Stabiliza-
tion, be not read a second time but
be referred back to the Governmen t
to have incorporated therein prin-
ciples of a Farm Income Protection •
Plan which would be open to th e
producers of, all farm products on a
voluntary and contributory Masi s
with the Government' negotiating
with legally constituted farm
spokesmen and with assurance tha t
the GoVernment provide a publi c
forum for full discussion with th e
farm community before re-intro-
duction of the Bill and that the Bi ll
be re-introduced no later tha n
October 31, 1976. '
'Had the Government made an
honest attempt to bring in a form of
Farm Income Stabilization. whic h
would have been effective in giving
our farmers a degree of incom e
protection, we would' not hav e
hesitated 'to give it ,our approval.
Hopefully, amended legislation will
be introduced in the fall which will
meet the needs of the farmers, an d
win the support of all three pantie s
in the Legislature.' ' •
