"The Agri -Food and rural Busi- ness Bill recognizes the major con- tribution the agriculture and food industry and rural communities make to the economic growth and well-being of the province as a whole," Villeneuve said. "The hill is also in keeping with our overall strategy for changing government to do better for Tess through cost savings, a halanced budget, job creation, and the resto- ration of hope and opportunity for future generations," he said. Under the hill. a new act will be created to: • establish AgriCorp, a Schedule III Crown Agency to deliver crop insurance and market revenue pro- grams as well as other agrifood pro- grams. The hill will replace two existing acts with two new acts: • the new Agriculture and Food Institute. of Ontario act will replace the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario (ARIO) Act to provide for alternative delivery of research, education and laboratory programs; • the new Crop Insurance Act (Ontario) will allow for delivery of• crop insurance through AgriCorp. In addition, several pieces of leg- islation are decades old and need to he updated or eliminated. The Agri -Food and ,Rural Business Bill will: • amend sections of the Farm Products Grades and Sales Act and the Grain Elevator Storage Act to form the Grains Act. The Grains Act will permit the continuation of the grain licensing and inspection program as a function of a corpora- tion or agency; and • .further amend sections of the Farm Products Grades and Sales Act to allow for the restructuring of the delivery of the Fresh Horticul- ture Inspection Program; • amend the Livestock Branding Act, Plant Diseases Act, Milk Act and Game and Fish Act; • repeal the Farm Income Stabili- zation Act, Riding Horse Establish- ments Act, Abandoned Orchards Act, Oleomargarine Act, Non - Resident Agricultural .Land Inter- ests Registration Act, Fur Farms Act, Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Act (Ontario) and Junior Farmer Establishment act (in 1999). "The hill reduces the red tape and over -regulation that are choking in- novation and putting a damper on the emergence and development of new approaches to doing business. OMAFRA has been working with the Red Tape Review Commission to eliminate unnecessary or unfair harriers to business growth and job creation," said Villeneuve. "The hill does not jeopardize programs and service delivery. Our goal is to find new and more efficient ways to deliver programs and services and encourage greater industry participation. We're mov- ing away from the direct delivery of services which can he better carried out by others, and foster- ing industry self reliance", he said. Over the past eight months, the Minister held Table Talk meetings with stakeholders across the prov- ince to help determine future prior- ities for the ministry, and consulta- tions were conducted on specific ministry programs and services. "The Ontario Agri -Food and Ru- ral Business Bill reflects the input of the agri-food industry and the residents of rural Ontario. Our ulti- mate objective is not only to main- tain our strong agricultural base, but also to help Ontario's agri- food industry move in bold new directions."
