Everyone welcome. sy Jack Riddell MPP The Provincial Agriculture Ministers met. with the Federal Minister, John Wise, last week and the recommen- dations which came forth from that meeting does little to resolve the immediate pro- blems of many farmers. The recommendations bas- ed on the report by the Task Force on agriculture will re- quire some changes to ex- isting Acts or to legislation. In the words of Harry Pelissero, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, "that will mean a time lag and nothing for farmers until the ink is dry on the new laws. That will be too late for many farmers". The Ministers recommend- ed extending the Farm Credit Corporation's • special assistance for two years; im- proving cash advance pro- grams to establish uniform treatment across all com- modities; establishing a registered farm investment fund; extending the Small Business Bond Program to 1989 and allowing farmers with bonds coming due to negotiate a new one and pro- viding fixed rates of interest for one to five year loans by amending the Farm Improve- ment Loan Act. These ideas require detail- ed analysis and consultations with farmers and although they may eventually lead to the solution of some of the problems in the Agricultural sector they may take too long to implement for many of the farmers in this county. Accor- ding to a recent farm survey by the Farm Credit Corpora- tion 17 percent of Canadian farmers are experiencing severe financial stress. On a provincial basis, the survey shows that 18 per cent of On- tario farmers are in severe stress and another five per cent are in moderate stress. r +.d " • CRAFTS FROM HENSALL — 011ie Cooper of Hensall had her crafts on display at the weekend Lucan craft show and sale.

I asked the Minister whether he intends to extend the Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance Program into next year and to reduce the floor of its interest rates subsidy from the present 12 per cent to 10 per cent or even lower. Although the Minister did not respond affirmatively, I did detect a positive note in his reply. As the President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture said "It is time the politicians started looking at the crisis in farming as an emergency. When your most productive, youngest farmers are going under it is a state of emergency." Opposition Leader David Peterson told the Ontario Legislature this week that the economic policies adopted by the Federal Conservative Government and endorsedby the Conservatives at Queen's Park could cost Ontario up to 20,000 jobs. Mr. Peterson cited the con- sulting firm of informetrica which has forecast a job loss of between 40,000 to 50,000 jobs across Canada as a result of program cuts plann- ed by Finance Minister Michael Wilson. "This would translate into between 14,000 and 20,000 jobs that are going to be lost directly in Ontario," the Liberal Leader said. He asked Treasurer Larry Grossman: "Who is speaking up for Ontario?" The Treasurer replied that it is in the long-term interests of Ontario to follow the policy adopted by the new govern- ment in Ottawa. It is "in the best interest of Canada, in the best interests of rebuilding the economy; we have to have the courage here not to stand up and take simplistic, nar- row positions..." But he conceded that policies such as the increase of oil prices to world levels will hurt Ontario. "It will not be helpful." However, he refused to place an estimate of potential job losses caused by higher oil and gas prices. Mr. Peterson accused the government at Queen's Park of hypocrisy in opposing energy price increases when Joe Clark was the Conser- vative Prime Minister, a move which helped precipitate the fall of the Clark Government in 1990, yet giving blanket endorsement to the actions of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Liberal Leader said the provincial economy would be profoundly affected if the On- tario Government is not prepared to protect the in- terests of the people of the Province. He said he is particularly concerned about the impact a freeze or cutback in transfer payments would have on the provision of health care ser- vices 'and the quality of education in Ontario. The Liberals have blamed Col- leges and Universities Minister Bette Stephenson for underfunding post secondary education and triggering the recent strike by Community College teachers. Mr. Peter- son forecasts similar pro- blems in the universities unless investment in post secondary education takes in- to account both inflation and enrollment increases. In a letter to students and educators this week, the Op- position Leader said the refusal by the government three times to allow an emergency debate on the strike and its subsequent re- jection of a Liberal proposal to direct negotiaters to deal with the workload question for another 30 days "is consis- tent with a government which is placing a diminishing priority on maintaining the quality of education in our colleges and universities." "Recent blanket support for federal government cut- backs in transfer payments to the provinces could deepen the problem, just at a time when our post secondary in- stitutions need increased financial support to prepare young people for future work. Indeed labour unrest within the colleges is likely to be a precursor to turbulence within our universities. "I have assigned education as a top priority among issues to be pursued by Ontario Liberals in the weeks and months ahead." COACHING — Pat Harwood, pro of the Hensall figure skating club, gives Teresa Haugh some help. Cromarty Scouts Sy MRS. ROBERT LAING First Cromarty Boy Scout group committee met Wednesday night with Bill Mahon presiding and Betty Stoneman as secretary.
