showed reports of absentee ownership
were exaggerated.
Adrian Vos, one of the federation
members who first raised the issue of
absentee ownership, said all this
proved was "that the buyers have
smart lawyers."
Mr. Vos claimed many foreign in-
vestors are hiding their involvement in
Ontario registered companies.
Mr. Jenkins said, "I wouldn't
disagree completely that there isn't
foreign money in the Huron County
farming industry."
Vince Austen told the audience he -
had researched the sale of 1,865 acres
of land in his township. Although the
sale was to a registered Ontario
company, on further research he
discovered the company was made up
of four "tenants in common", all
residents of the Republic of West
Germany.
Companies which are registered in
Ontario 'aren't subject to the 20 per cent
. land transfer tax paid when land is sold
to a non-resident of the country.
Mr. Jenkins said if the company Were
legally registered with the Ontario
government, them "that'„s legal and
that's possible."
During the meeting, the federation
members electedtheir three regional
directors, who represent them at the
OFA directors' meetings in Toronto,

convention.
