The Round Table, which will hold its first meeting in December, is chaired by Murray Elston, Chairman of Management Board and Minister of Financial Institutions. The panel of senior decision makers, representing government, small and large industry, agricultural and environmental organizations, labour, and academics have a three -fold mandate: • to support joint, long-term economic demonstrations projects between govern- ment, industry, labour, agricultural and environmental and other interests; • to commission research on measures to further sustainable economic development and to disseminate this information; and • to develop a provincial sustainable economic development strategy. "This Round Table will be planning future directions which will ensure the long-term health of both our environment and our economy in this province," Mr. Peterson said. "Acting as an advisor to government, an influence on all sectors of our society, the Round Table will be -a catalyst for projects which demonstrate the viability of en- vironmentally sound development," Mr. Elston said. Co -Operative Education Goes Pliblic Ontario's secondary school Co-operative Education Program will get the attention and high profile it deserves with the launch today of a multimedia promotional cam- paign, Education Minister Chris Ward has announced.

Quilts, quits and quilts The Walkerton Heritage Fair has always been 'noted for its excellent showing of handmade quilts and quilted items.

Plan For Grain Growers On October 14 as Minister of Agriculture and Food, I announced a new income stabilization plan will be introduced for Ontario's grain growers. I have asked the Ontario Farm Income Stabilization Com- mission to develop a plan for the 1988-90 crop years, in consultation with affected commodity organizations. Since discussions with the federal government on tripartite stabilization for grain crops have not proceeded as quickly as expected, a simplified three-year grains plan will be developed to replace the plan for the 1985-87 grain crops. It will be developed under the authority of the On- tario Farm Income Stabilization Act, which permits payment to the farmer when the market price of grain falls below a calculated support price. The support price is calculated by using 95 per cent of the previous five-year average price, with an adjustment made for cash costs. The provincial government makes two-thirds of the payment. The Farm Income Stabilization Com- mission will develop details of the new plan. Further information will be made available to producers later this year.
