JACK RIDDELL Minister of Agriculture The pace in Queen's Park and in the riding continues to be hectic. Not on- ly is the Legislature sitting full time, but a number of cabinet committees have full agendas as well, including the four I sit on. As we approach June 26, the first anniversary of the new government, we should pause and reflect back on a very busy year. Much has been done by the new government in both the area in which I am responsible Agriculture and Food, as well as in the areas of small business develop- ment, education enrichment, increas- ed health accessibility, technological research, better housing and a com- prehensive seniors policy to name just a few. But much has yet to be done, and the government of Premier David Peterson will continue to be very busy in the coming months meeting the wishes of the people. • Last week was again a very busy week for the staff at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. I was fortunate to announce three new initiatives to help Ontario food producers and processors. On Tuesday, I opened the Ontario Pork Congress in Stratford, where I announced a new $54 million, five year program to improve the pro- vince's pork industry. Small boy to mother in curlers at dressing table: "Daddy wants 'to know - what time does the butterfly emerge from the cocoon?" act d 4oitli?l�d Hectic pace The new program has two com- ponents - one to provide marketing assistance to the processing industry and the other to provide assistance to producers. Because pork production in Ontario generates the third largest farmgate income, to some 15,000 pork producers, as well as employing a further 14,000 jobs in the meat pro- cessing industry, I wanted to ensure this $1,2 billion industry remained competitive in world and national markets. The marketing component of the program involves consumer surveys to identify consumer preferences, assistance to the pack- ing industry to upgrade, modify and adopt new packing and processing technologies, and to develop products for domestic and export markets. The production initiatives provide incentives to improve swipe herd health, swine record of performance testing, production and financial management analysis, housing and feeding practices, artificial inmina- tion and swine research. On Thursday morning, at an early morning news conference at the On- tario Food Terminal, I was pleased to announce a new $6 million program to help small food processors increase efficiency and expand facilities. The Ontario Small Food Processors Assistance Program will provide grants to help viable companies im- prove their access to market informa- tion, strengthen their business plan- ning and invest in new technology and facilities. This program will provide benefits in many different areas. It will in- crease employment, provide addi- tional opportunities for agricultural production, enlarge the potential for import replacement and increase the opportunity for exports of Ontario products. The program is designed to meet the specific needs of small food pro- cessors who often lack the expertise and resources to obtain information on markets and competition. It will also help to encourage processors to modernize their equipment and adopt new technologies in areas such as packaging and energy-saving equipment. Under this program, the private sector will be spending four dollars for every dollar spent by the public sector and assure value added marketing of farm products. At that same news conference, I was able to announce a similar $6 million program to assist fresh fruit and vegetable growers, packers and storage operators to buy capital equipment to enhance the quality of their products. The three-year Fruit and Vegetable Quality Improvement Program, star- ting July 1, will cover up to 40 per- cent of the applicant's capital cost of equipment used in storages, cooling and controlled -atmosphere equipment. The technology of storage is evolv- ing very fast. The industry has been learning to adapt to an increasingly competitive market by assuring a steady supply of best quality product. For example, Ontario -grown McIn- tosh apples are shipped to the market year-round from low -oxygen storage. Ontario Consumer and Commercial Relations Minister Monte Kwinter recently called on all provincially in- corporated nog -profit and charitable organizations to update the public in- formation contained in their govern- ment files. Over 20,000 charities, sports clubs, social clubs and other non-profit organizations are being asked to file up-to-date information with the ministry's Companies Branch by Ju- ly 15. The minister urged corporations to act as soon as possible on this request. "Prompt filing will continue the limited liability protection for direc- tors, officers and members." explain- ed Mr. Kwinter. Organizations will have thirty days to respond. Those that do not submit the requested material will eventually have their letters patent (charter) cancelled and will be dissolved. • Times -Advocate, June 25, 1986 Page 17A read on!

The Student Office serves two main 'functions: finding jobs for Tpraand finding students for jobs. cedure for doing this is quite simple. . An employer notifies the office about an employment position available for a student. He forwards such information as hours of work, length of employment, wage, duties, etc. Given this the Student Placement Officer goes through a file of students who have registered and 'contacts those who are qualified. Interested students are then referred to the employer who interviews them, choosing one, or asking for more referrals to be made.
