MPP Elston calls
for public hearings
Liberal MPP Murray Elston has
called for public hearings into
legislation that would unionize
family farms. Bill 91 is one of the
most controversial pieces of
legislation to face the farm
community. And yet, no farmer
asked for this," Mr. Elston said
yesterday in the legislature. "Why
are you shutting down the voice of
farmers right across the province
by refusing hearings?"
The NDP is refusing hearings on
the legislation demanding speedy
approval of the controversial Bill
91.
Mr. Elston told the legislature
that since the introduction of the
NDP's controversial labour
legislation, farmers in Ontario have
been concerned about the NDP's
plan to unionize the family farm.

Furthermore, he said that Bill 91
would not have been necessary if
the farm exemption had not been
removed from the previous NDP
labour legislation.
"The NDP took away farmers'
protection with Bill 40. Bill 91
does not protect farmers from
unionization encouraged by Bill
40," he said. "Why won't you let
farmers tell you what they think is
wrong with Bill 91 and your plans
to unionize the family farm?"
