"These comparisons demonstrate that Ontario could move toward zero -energy growth, and obtain more einployment than continuing with energy growth," the brief states. The brief also presents a comparison of various energy sources - con- servation, mathanol, solar and nuclear - giving in each case a capital investment • • • • to fkb of one billion dollars. It ilhows that over a period of 30 years, the energy return for conservation' measures is about three times as much as for nuclear production. It also demonstrates that nearly three times as many man-years of em- ployment 'are provided through con- • servafion as in the production of nuclear energy. Methanol production. yields four times the jobs but slightly less energy, solar energy yields slightly more energy and more iobs. "It is clear that conservation and solar programs are not only more beneficial on environmental grounds, but also on an employment generating basis," says , the brief. Indeed this is" supported by Ontario Hydro's own figures which show that of 49 Ontatio industries studied, the ' number of jobs and other economic benefits from investment in electricity production were amongst the lowest." The brief goes on to claim that the agricultural industry is the mo.it ef- ficient industry in Canada and re3eives the least tariff erotection. It was pointed out that all productive activity consists in transforming raw materials into a higher stage product. "The final product to the farmer is a • s ts raw material to the food processor," says the brief. " On the other hand the final product to the fertilizer manufacturer is a raw material to the farmer." "We believe that any increase in the production of hydro will only further burden the financial position of agriculture ' and thereby weaken the economic structure of our country," says the brief, The brief presents a chart which shows the nominal and effective .tariff rates for the protection of Canadian Industries. It shows that agriculture has CLINTON NFWS-RECORD'„THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1977 pAGE Ow lowest ,norninal protection (2.05 per cent) as ,well as the loweal effective protection, .5213er cent. "When we say that the nominal protection to agriculture is 2.05 per cent, we mean that the average of all the tariffs applied to agriculture products is 2.05 per cent," the brief stated. "Wh,en we say that effective protection fto agriculture is .52 per cent, we mearythat the protection given ' to many agricultural inputs and the higher prices that farmers must pay for these inputs eats up . Most of the. 2.05 per cent protection given to farm products.'," The food and beverages industry, for instance, has a nominal protection rate of 7.96 per cent aid effective protection of 19.04 per cent. This means that .the tariff rate on their inputs is very low and the value they add to the goods they process is small in relation to the total value of the final product. As a result the 7.96 per cent protection given to their raw products represents 19.04 per cent of thre value they add to the finished product. -"As a result the returns to investment and labor in agriculture, are lower than the returns in the food and beverages .industry," the Huron F of A says.. , Action Priced KRAFT Single Process CHEESE SLICES 2 -LB PKG A&P Regular Pr.ice $3.29 (SOFT WHIPPED 16-0Z TUB '690) BLUE BONNET SOFT MARGARINE GRAPE Kraft Jelly.
