Riddell details concern
over foreignownership
Liberal agriculture critic
Jack Riddell I Huron -
Middlesex) called Tuesday
for a provincial survey of
the amount of farmland un-
der foreign ownership.
Riddell- .told. the
legislature there is growing
concern about the amount of
farmland falling under
• foreign control. particularly
in• the counties .of Huron.
Bruce. Lambton and Kent.
Ontario Agriculture
Minister William Newman
said the latest statistics in-
dicate that less than one per
• cent of the ptovince's
farmland is owned by in-
terests from outside
Canada. -
He told Riddeli itwould be
too expensive to do a survey
of the whole province. but
that if there is special con-
cer ne area: that area
could Wslirveved.
He said many people from
other counttrfes who have
bought Ontario farmland
have come to this country to
farm the land themselves .
and become "excellent
citizens." Others. he said
have leased their land to
neighboring farmers.
The 20 per cent land
transfer tax in Ontario'
applies to foreign interests
buying farmland and serves
as a safeguard against too
much land going to non -
Canadians, he said.
• Newman said outside The
house that his ministry is
"always keeping an.eye" on
the situation. but he doesn't
'see the need for a special
province -wide investigation.
Riddell said in the
legislature the Ontario

meeting asked for a provin-
cial survey of foreign
ownership and a monitoring
of all new land,transfers to
foreign ownership:
He suggested that foreign
buyers could circumvent the
land transfer -tax by forming
an Ontario corporation .to
buy the land.
Riddell said the OFA is
tackling the issue itself and
it "shouldn't have to" do its
.only survey-.

tyle said later that "no one
knows how" -,much agri-

owners." But he said "we do
know there is German
money in Bruce, Belgian
and German money in
Huron and Italian money in
Kent."
In many cases the farms.
are bought through realtors
"sight unseen," said
Riddell, and then rented out
to other farmer's.
"We also feel that
processors are renting this
land leading to . vertical -in-
tegration (of the food in-
dustry) which makes it very
difficult for our farm family
units . to compete," said
Riddell.
He said the purchases by
foreign buyers has also put
land values up, often
"beyond the reach of our
own potential farmers."
