While ,the members present recognized that financial pressures have forced many farmers to take off farm jobs there' was a feeling that a farmought to be able to provide a living for the family on it. It was also felt that off farm income created an unfair advantage for people who . had good jobs and shouldn't be competing with those trying to make a living from their farm. After considerable debate the Huron - Bruce Riding passed the following motion. "The Huron Bruce NDP along• with the NDP Agriculture Critic,' David Ramsay continue to explore ways -to ensure that the support which agriculture receives from Government benefits family farms whose labour is primarily invested in the farm." r Takelleart Ifyou'lldo oirpar4 we'll train yo �� d,pay you on the or up to a year PhQneJree.' 1-800-387-0777 `paining Ontario's youth for work Ministry 01 Skills Development ® Ontario M n.�.lr•r Hsu.
