Federation members from the north of the county supported a resolution put forward by Vince Austen asking that "the Ontario Federation of Agriculture request the Ontario government to act quickly to prevent further purchases by absentee foreign in- terests." The - resolution said ab- sentee interests are pur- chasing farmland as an investment and "Ontario residents cannot compete with them in money markets for the capital they require to purchase land" and "foreign absentee ownership of large parcels of land in any given area causes deterioration of our rural community." The resolution will be forwarded to. the next meeting of OFA directors in Toronto. and a report on their action will be brought back to Huron county members at their annual meeting,in Brussels on October 1. Before presenting the resolution' audience members had challenged guest speaker Floyd Jenkins. they regional assessment commissioner for Huron and Perth coun- ties. to defend statements ne had made earlier in the week. Jenkins had been quoted as saying he felt the issue of foreign land ownership in Huron County had been exaggerated in the press. Jenkins told the audience any foreign ownership purchase of land by a non- resident of the country is subject to a 20 per cent land transfer tax. and that a survey of land transactions showed reports of absentee ownership were exaggerated. Adrian*Vos. one of the federation members who first raised the issue of absentee ownership. said all this proved was "that the buyers have smart lawyers." Vos claimed many foreign investors are hiding their. involvement in Ontario registered companies. Jenkins said,. "I wouldn't disagree completely that there isn't foreign money in the Huron Codnty farming industry." Vince Austen told the audience he had reseatched the sale of 1.865 acres of land in his township. Although the sale was to a registered Ontario company. on further research he discovered the company was made up of four "tenants in common all residents of the Republic of West Germany. Companies which are registered in Ontario aren't subject to the 20 per cent land transfer tax paid when land is sold to a non-resident of -the country.
