Blake Sanford, Co- ordinator for Region 3 of the NFU, in a letter to the Chairman of the O.M.M.B. urged the marketing board to establish a quota policy that would require all quota transfers to be handled through the board at a set price and that this price be a diminishing price that would eventually bring the price of quota in Ontario to "zero". In the dairy year of 1976-77 all quota transfers were handled through the board at a set price but in the past year Market Share quota transfers • have been returned to the open market and this has left the door open for un- scrupulous dealings, allowing some people to speculate .on quotas. The price of Market Share Quota has risen over ten times in value since it was returned to the open Market. Mr. Sanford added that the NFU described the quota policy of 1976-77, when all quota transfers were handled by the board as a step in the right direction, but look upon last year's policy when Market Share Quota tran- sfers were returned to the open market as a "disaster" as far as the milk industry is concerned.
