Speaking at the annual members 'of parliament dinner held on February 27, sponsored by the Huron Federation of • Agriculture, Mr. Riddell said some absentee owners can evade a special tax for such owners by being a numbered Ontario corporation. Mr. Riddell was one of five members of parliament who heard briefs from various agriculture groups. MP I3 Bob Eaton (PC - Middlesex) said there is presently legislation which taxes corporations having 25 per cent or more foreign ownership. • • The MPP from Huron -Middlesex counter- ed the tax isbeing evaded because some of the corporations are numbered Ontario ,corporations. Mr. Eaton said numbered • li44 corporations also have to pay a tk "They're very shrewd people." sai r. Riddell. .. MPP Donald McDonald (NDP -York South) agreed with Mr. Riddell. He said some people hiding behind a numbered corpora- tion are breaking the law and will eventually be caught. The federation absentee foreign owner- • ship committee stated, "information given us indicates absentee foreign investors have increased their holdings from 320 acres to over 2,300 acres in Morris Township this past year and from zero to 1.100 acres in East Wawanosh Township.' ' Morris Reeve William Elston said he could see it, being difficult for the township to do busine4s in such as matters as drains. He also recognized that the purchase of some of the land in his township helped four farmers start, over again. Talk of corporations offering to lease back • land to the previous owner prompted one young farmer to say "five generations ago his ancestors had left Europe to escape the feudal system," Mr. Riddell agreed saying that system would be tenant farming. Mr. Eaton challenged Mr. Riddell saying if he couldprovide • him with facts of corporations avoiding absentee foreign ownership tax, he would chase them down. Mr. Eaton said there are a lot of rumors of absentee foreign ownership. but some of these could be absentee Ontarian owners. Federation president Gerry Fortune made it clear the organization is not against landed immigrants taking up farming. • The federation's committee brief stated, "we are deeply concerned that a .continued • increase in absentee foreign ownership will force us to abandon our traditional 'family' or owner -operated type .of agriculture**. The committee asked for legislation to stop absentee foreign ownership and said "we need it now". • • 1
