Members of NFU, Region
3, Ontario, : will be joining
farmers from across Canada
in Ottawa,' March 2, .3 and 4,
to lobby ,the federal cabinet
and government committees,
in addition to personally.
pressuring politicians on the
issues of the, retention of the
Crow's Nest ' Pass ' Freiight
Rates, Plant Breeders'.
Rights; and a red meats
marketing proposal. for Can-
adian :Farmers.
Marie F Bright, 'Regional
Co-ordinator for NFU Region
3 said today that the question.
of Patent Rights for seeds,
Bill C-32, has been a topic
which had come under con-
siderable debate in the `farm
communities across. Ontario
for the past year. She said,
"It's interesting, the primary
producer's opinion has not
been asked fol' by govern.
meat, yet farmers stand to be
affected greatly if this legis-
lation is passed. The issue
.really . stems around : who
should control the destiny of
food in Canada, the .private
sectors, such ' as Ceiba -
Geigy, Royal Dutch Shell,
and other multinational bodes
" res,. or the public sector.
Mrs. Bright went on to
say, "An orderly marketing
system for the red meat
industry in Canada is one of
the 'issues foremost in the
minds °flinty beef and hog
producers: It would . be an
absolute farce to enact any
form of legislation less than a
National Meat Authority
with. complete marketing
powers. One just has to look
at the number of bankrupt=
cies . in this area of the
fainting industry to realize.
'the djunger that looms for
centiliters for a supply of red
main
t 1n Canada. It is nothing
less than ludicrous to expect
producers to maintain ind-
uction levels of meat in the
face of continual net , losses
yearly... One, . wonders how
much longer some farmers
will want the illusion of the
supposedly: free market sys-
tem.
The retention of the
• "Crow's Nest Pass', Ratesis,.
without a doubt, ' a major
issue concerning not only the
Fanners " in Canada, but the
people of Canada. The rail-
way companies have been
saying.the agreement is out- ;,
dated, and have invariably
tried to sensationalize their`
supposed losses in the move-
ment of, grain. The facts are
that the• federal government
has already subsidized the
railway companies beyond a.._
reasonable limit without any
guarantees that the railways
will give better -service in the
movement of . grain. There
are no guarantees that it
would mean. ,an end ;to the
railway companies' demands
for public ' funds, which in
1979=80 fiscal year totalled,
for all purposes, $751 .mil
lion.
National unity is at stake in
Canada and the transporta-
tion policy of ,Canada is' the
cornerstone of Canadian un-
ity. The ; federal government
has a responsibility to the
people of Canada to; see' that
unity is preserved. If in fact
the Crow rate goes, it will
mean that the federal gov-
ernment bowed under to,the
pressure of a multinational
corporation. . .
The National Farmers Un-
ion feels it has a responsibil-
ity to the people of Canada
and to the farmers of Canada
to see that the federal politic-
ians make the .decisions in
the best interests of the
Canadian public.
A recent survey done by
the NFU in southern Saskatt
chewan showed that' over
79% of all farmers' interview-
ed were in favor of retaining
the Crowns Rates and an
amalgamation of CPR and
CNR as a Nationalized" :Rail-
road.
