was raised during the meeting.
Carol Mitchell. I I uron- Bruct•
MPP, sat down to enjoy the hot bed
lunch with the dairy_ producers
before -making her speech.
She said she has been working
htird with Agricultural Minister
Steve Peters and his senior ministry
staff, to find solutions to the
repercussions of the BSE crisis last
May.
She said the government is trying
to ensure safe "food and set the bar
for quality safety standards.
"BSE is ranked high on the
agenda. Action must be taken to re-
open the border and I believe that
Ontario beef is safe," said Mitchell.
She said she will be holding a
meeting at Holmesville hallin the
morning on March 8 and in
Kincardine in the afternoon, to hear
concerns from local farmers.
"It's a terrible tragedy. I know it's
hard, but we have to see our way
through this," said Mitchell.
Mitchell did her best to answer
some financial questions from
concerned farmers, but
unfortunately was unable to make
many comments as the government
is still discussing solutions to the
ellects USE has had nn tanners.
Huron l•ederation of Agriculture
president. Ned Vincent. said he
thinks the government should "look
at opening the border to more than
the States."
Mitchell
responded by
saying she
understands,
"but at this
stage, no plans
are coming
forward."
"I intend to
bring forward
all your
CAROL comments and
views to the MITCHELL
government," MPP Huron-Bruce
said Mitchell.
To acknowledge the hard work
that dairy farmers have faced this
past year, many awards were
presented.
Ernst Gubelmann of Walton
received six awards including, top
three, four and five-year-old for
Brown Swiss, top mature cow, top
herd by composite BCA and the
