Ministry of Consumer and Corporate Affairs: He Works for that depart- ' ment. He blasted the idea of a marketing board, that controlled supply and management of the product. He said , a farmer-controlled bOard would incuase costs, make the system, too rigid and, make it difficult for • ef- ficient farmers to make more money. To his credit, he told the hearing that he was speaking for himSelf and • not for. Andre Ouellette, his minister, nor for consumer and corporate. affairs. His ideas are`-'in dir-ect Oenosition to that of the ministry of agriculture: 'Far be it from me, to call Mr. Bertrand a liar. He has every right to express his opinion in Public hearings. How come his remarks to the bearing were mailed to. reporters from coast to coast? Did be pay for this 'mailing himself or did the consumer and corporate affairs pay for jt? I suggest too, that his minister surely knew he was going to appear at the hearings and his minister probably knew what • Bertrand wasgoing to say. It is just unother spike in Whelan's coffin and another nail to the wall for farming. Marketing boards for farmers have always made sense to , me but this sotinds like the opening pistol shetr.in an all-out war between these two ministries. ' It seems to me that farmers had better get ready to, fight like hell to- keep what • they, have. Eugene Whelan will need all the help he can get from every sector of the agricultural community if sub- sequent battles are going to be won, for farming. -• - Whelan was the darling of the press corps some years back. His hoinely face ;and his hinnorous o. -n1: re arks made;-;him good copy for retters 10 Common sense, too, wasapparent in th.enationaLpress But when he said he would be a, candidate for the leadership when Trudeau announced his resignation, before the fall of the Tory govern- ment:I noticed a subtle change in the press's attitude towards Eugene. One paper in Quebec made fun of his candidacy. It said something to the effect that, if Whelan becomeS leader of the. Liberal party, Canada will have a candidate who cannot speak either one of the, official languages. Such spoofihg elecits a little chuckle but much of it can make a laughing stock out of a politician.
