By Jack Riddell MPP In late July, provincial agriculture ministers from across the country met in Winnipeg to discuss the establishment of a Tripartite Stabilization Program for Canadian farmers. However, little progress has been made in this connection. A statement released by the Opposition Party indicated that "Another provincial agriculture ministers' con- ference has come and gone and while producers are worse off financially than they were last year, we are no further ahead on the introduc- tion of a Tripartite Stabiliza- tion Program for Ontario and Canadian farmers. We can kiss the introduction of a stabilization plan goodbye for yet another year." As recently as the 8th July, 1984, in response to a question by myself, the Minster of Agriculture stated: "We can and will finalize the agree- ment at the July 23, 24 and 25 Meeting of the Ministers of Agriculture." y To quote the statement once again, "Ontario farmers have now had two and one half years of excuses from Dennis Timbrell as to his inability to provide financial assistance to red nproducers caught in the o g farm financial squeeze, on the basis that it would jeopardize an illusory Tripartite Stabilization pro- gram. As the Winnipeg agriculture conference passes into history, the Minister has once again come up empty handed." The statement continues "The so-called support for a stabilization program which Mr Timbrell speaks of is nothing more than a PR exer- cise. No other province has agreed to the principle of stabilization than the original four (Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and On- tario) which had agreed to negotiate last year. Moreover, any program is to be subject to still further negotiations and changes, and will not be retroactive. Because of the shenanigans of Mr. Timbretl's federal cousins which prevented the amendment to the Agriculture Stabilization Act (Bill 50) to get beyond the first reading before the elec- tion was called, the federal' Minister of Agriculture has agreed to re -introduce the enabling legislation in the Fall session of Parliament. jack 3 01itt c 3 Situation bleak "Ontario farmers are again left out in the cold and must continue to compete with farmers who are the beneficiaries of the generous agricultural support pro- grams of other provinces. "While Mr. Timbrell speaks about the farm finan- cial responsibility of the federal government, he has no solutions to offer of his own. He continues to blame Ottawa and shirks his own responsibilities by refusing to provide the programs necessary to maintain a farm industry in this Province. Stabilization is the only solu- tion which he has dangled before our farmers to address their present economic problems. "Our producers need assistance now to keep them in production. They can no longer wait for a yet to materialize Tripartite Stabilization Program. "On June 19, the Minister told us in the Legislature that he did not want to let down the red meat industry. Ile must take the necessary steps now through emergency financial assistance to alleviate the dif- ficulties which our farmers are experiencing. "This farce has gone on long enough. The Minister must now stand and deliver." Pursuing the matter in the Legislature 1 stated that On- tario government inaction threatens survival of our red meat industry. Financial assistance is urgently needed, yet no emergency aid was for- thcoming in the May budget. The government has failed producers due to its preoc- cupation with proposed federal/provincial tripartite program. Two years have been wasted and the situation has worsened. The government showed its true colours when it rejected our call last October for an emergency debate. Moreover, it has now an- nounced the imposition on beef producers of a marketing plan without either legislative debate or prior consultation with producers. The government has failed to address the central pro- blem of high capital and operating costs which are combined with low commodi- ty prices due to a decrease in consumer demand, a surplus of production and U S imports. As recently as 1980, the JOIN THE CROWD BE A REGULAR BLOOD DONOR government told farmers to modernize and expand their operations, yet many farmers who heeded the government's advice are now worse off than ever before. The situation will remain bleak as long a producers are forced to compete with Western Canada and Quebec with their heavy government subsidies. Join the human race.
