He and his officials failed to notice that the federal govern ment had downgraded the Agriculture and Food Processing classification in its Petroleum Product Allocation Plan. "The President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture drew attention to this downgrading two days ago. Yet still the information didn't percolate through to the Minister's ivory tower. "When I questioned him about -this matter today, he said he was unaware of any change. Surely it's his responsibility to be aware- to keep up-to-date with federal actions which affect Ontario's agriculture in- dustry. Who else should be looking after the interests of the farmers if not the Minister of Agriculture?'• "Under the former federal government. the Agriculture and Food Processing classification was given top priority for energy supplies. Now it has slipped down the ladder to be given the same priority as garbage collection and snow removal. What happens if we are faced with a real and serious emergency with respect to energy supplies. with cut- backs. shortfalls and rationing' "Does the Minister not feel that food supplies for the people of Ontario are im- portant'" Doesn't he know that it's his responsibility to keep a vigilant eye on federal legislation or regulations which could drastically affect our food supplies' 'A former provincial Energy Minister condemned the previous federal government's Energy classing Supplies Emergency Act as a 'camouflaged War Measures Act for which there is no present need.' Yet now the Minister and his cabinet colleagues docilely accept what their Con- servative friends in Ottawa announce without even bothering to check out changes in priority which can have very negative and damaging effects on our future food supplies."
