"(The province) has to step up to the plate." Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs representatives were unavailable for comment. Both Doidge and Hamilton pointed to a recent allotment of 5233 million by the frugal Albgrta government to assist its farmers as an indication of how dire the situation has become for Canadian farmers: What puzzles Doidge, however, is the lack of understanding by the governments that the .better the commodity prices,.the less they will need to support the industry. Hamilton has quite a different take. "The American government is supporting the subsidies to keep prices low for corporations that use the raw materials created in the agricultural industry. This keeps the prices low and increases the profit for the corporations." he explained. Earlier this year.

"The funds from the governments are not subsidies. please do not call them subsidies. They are an investment into the communities supported by agriculture. There is a significant economic ripple effect with lower spending power for farmers." he stated, noting that several of his colleagues have put off purchases. for example. of new farming equipment. "(The government) is looking at support levels without assessing the impact that (the low commodity prices) are having on our rural and national economics. "People say we can't afford to (invest in agriculture). This is not true. We made up our minds not • ��� .. i� and that is not n. to do It that right. We need to invested money hack into our cornrnunities... With this in mind. there is hut one choice that becomes clear for Canadian governments. Hamilton stated.
