BY CRAWFORD DOU(LAS
M.P. BRUCIE.GREY
Firstly, may I take this
opportunity of extending
Christmas wishes to all the
constituents of the Riding of
Bruce-Grey from myself. my wife
Lorna and all of our family. We
wish you the warmest 'of seasons
greetings and the best for the
coming New Year.
With the old year draWing to a
dose. I would like tolet you know
about some of the things that
have happened in the past month,
which you might find of interest.
Recently, I was named Chair-
man of the Standing• Committee.
on Broadcasting, Films and
Assistance to the Arts. This
Committee is responsible for
studying the Spending Estimates.
and all other matters of the.
Department of the Secretary of
State , and the Minister of
Communications pertinent to the
Committee..
One of the first items that will
be on our agenda .following the
passage of the Supplementary
Estimates will be a study of the
Farm Broadcast policy of the,,CBC
and of broadcasters in general.
This issue came to the fore in the
last session of the House.
However, the motion itself came
so close to the end of the session,
that the Committee 'was unable to
deal with, lt them, so now it
appears that it .will be re-intro-
duced sometime in the next week
or so by the Governinent House .
Leader.
It will be our wish to deal with
this matter as quickly ,as possible
in Committee, as farm broadcast-
ing, in particular radio farm
broadcasting is of the utmost
importance to the residents of this
Riding. I hope that our delibera-
tions will lead to an improvement
in the position that farm
broadcasting and farm infonna-
tion hold with the national
netWork. I do believe that
improvements are always
Possible of this nature. HoWever,
I must take this , opportunity to
commend the agricultural broad-
casting done by CKNX and
CFOS. •We in this area are most
fortunate to have these two
stations , to' accommodate the
people.,
As a. member of the Standing
Committee on Agriculture, it was
my privilege recently to present a'
motion to the Committee, which
has been accepted by all Parties.
The motion was that the Report
on Beef Marketing recently
presented to the Prime Minister'
be reviewed • by the Standing
Committee on Agriculture. This
should be done so that all aspects
of the •Report, together with a
thorough and comprehensive
study of the many problems now
confronting the beef industry can
be completely studied and
recommendations made by the
Committee to alleviate the many
problems that now face the cattle
industry.
In the New Year; I will be
reporting to you from Parliament
Hill once again. This then is my
final report for ,1976 and may 1'
take this opportunity once again
to wish you and yours a Very
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. ,
Happy holidays! Hope they're
packed with spirited, fun times
and lots of special Christmas cheer.
