"The agreement, supporting agri- cultural market development and the environment, will bring a do- mestic ethanol industry closer to reality, and will provide a market for' up to 30 million bushels of On- tario corn," said Jim Johnson, pres- ident of the Ontario Corn Produc- ers' Association. "Not only will farmers, and the communities around them, benefit from ethanol manufacturing, but we will contin- ue to work towards improved air quality as part of a sustainable en- vironment." The agreement reached, follow- ing an investigation of the;devel- oping ethanol industry by former deputy agriculture minister Dr. Clay Switzer, requires a significant financial contribution from the manufacturer to research and an ethanol environmental awareness centre over the next ten years. Re- tailing of ethanol -blended fuels is continuing to grow in Ontario with over 2.50 retail outlets now selling the renewable fuel. "We appreciate the strong sup- port expressed for ethanol by MPPs from all political Parties and in particular the MPP for Chatham Kent, Jack Carroll, who has worked hard to develop this agree- ment and fulfill the Mike Harris commitment to the developing ethanol industry," said Johnson.

Christmas is special to me be- cause I get to spend time with my fatuity. We give each other presents and share presents. Christmas is the birth of Jesus, a time of hope and a time of joy.
