As well, the Tory
policiticians heard that
jobs for young people,
access to high speed
internet and struggling
farmers were also big
challenges in rural
areas.
"Agriculture is the
number one industry in
this county and it's
gone through some real
tough years with
depressed prices and
Quebec and U.S. subsi-
dies," said Jeff Cardiff,
of the Brussels area.
"Our government
hasn't kept up to speed.
If farmers were on bet-

really help the rural
economy," he said.
In a press release
handed out at the
meeting, Klees is quot-
ed as saying the impact
of higher taxes and
increased electricity
rates have "devastated
the agricultural com-
munity, which has sub-
sequently negatively
affected small town
economies."
Miller is also quoted
in the press release as
saying that the Liberal
government slashed
support to grain and
oilseed farmers by
more than 50 per cent.
