M. Gaunt to seek
federal probe
of sugar company
Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for
Huron -Bruce, stated in a press
conference in Toronto last week
that he will file a personal
complaint about the status of
the Canadian and Dominion
Sugar Company with D.H.W.
Henry, federal director of com-
bines investigation.
The question of a govern-
ment probe arose after the Lib-
eral M.P.P. observed during a
discussion of the sugar beet
controversy that he understood
Canada and Dominion Sugar,. a
British -owned company, was
part of a world-wide cartel.
The company has announced
its decision to cease operation
of its sugar refinery at Chat-
ham, Ont., thus disrupting the
market for hundreds of sugar
beet growers in the southern
part of the. province.
Mr. Gaunt said perhaps it is
time to " take a . hold look at the
possibility of arit;;combines

Dave.,Burgess, presided over the

The minutes of last year's

It was noted that the mem-

that of two years ago, with a
great increase in assets this past
year -- almost double 'the
amount of money in savings to
what there was one year ago.

Report from Queen's Park
A Royal Commission report ,
has failed ,to support any' of 'the
charges made by Dr. Morton
Shulman about the Ontario
Coroners' 'system and has used
the term "McCarthyism" to
describe Dr. Shulman's tactics.
To criticize public o f -
iCials when they are wrong is
in the public interest. To
make vague allegations and in-
sinuations against unspecified
individuals is not. This tech-
nique is repugnant to our sense
of fair play and justice," the
Minister of AgricuIfure
announces investigati'on
Hon. William A. Stewart,
• minister of agriculture and food
in the Ontario government an-
nounced in'the Legislature last
Thury that a full-scale in-
vestigation into the sale and
distribution of food products
will be undertaken.
Introducing the subject Mr. ,
Stewart said, "Several months'
ago it was brought to my `at.
tention that certain undesirable
practices had crept into the buy-
ing; selling and distributing of
fruits and .vegetables in the Pro-
vince of Ontario. "In the •fac°e
of this evience and the
full co-operation of the Attor-
ney -General's office, a prelim-
inary investigation into. these
charges was undertaken.
"The results of that investi-
gation•are now in my hands,
and on the basis of this evidence•
it would appear that in some
commodities at leash, the prac-
tice commonly known as "Pay-
ola" may be in existence. It
has been reported to us, for
example, that some buyers. of
.fruits:and vegetables in this
province have been demanding,
and receiving, from producers
and producer groups; kick-
. backs and under-the''table .com-
•missions in return for the guar-
. antee of certain market outlets.
This is a highly unethical prac-
tice, one that violates: every
concept of•the free market, and•
it is one that,penalizes both the
producer and the consumer from
a firiancial standpoint. r Y

Having consideration for the
evidence before us, and .realrz-
,ing the seriousness of this situa-
tion, and the many undesirable
implications that it could have.
for the food industry, I wish to
Announcethat a complete pub-
lic inquiry will be held into
these matters.
"A special meeting of the
Ontario Food Council was held
on February 20th to discuss this
matter, and the members of
the Council unanimously ap-
proved a resolution which' call-
ed for an investigation into dis-o
crimination and undesirable t
trade•practices in the food in-
dustry. I think it.is important
to note at this time that the
Members of the Ontario food
Couhcil represent the broad
spectrum of interest in the food
industry; _Harvey Beaty of
-Thamesford represents the pri-
mary producers, J. Douglas
Small, President of• the Schnei-
der Meat Packing Company in
• Kitchener, _represents the pro-
cessors, Ivor Crimp, vice-pres-
ident sof Dominion Stores Lim-
ited, represents the consumer.
Mrs. W.A.C. Shepherd of the
Consumers Association' of Can-
ada, represents the consumer.
Mrs. Shepherd was unable to
attend this special •meeting,
but was represented by Mrs. W.
A. Brechin of the Consumers '
Association of Canada.
"And so,. by Order-in-Coun-
cil
rder-in-iouncil we have directed Mr. Doug-
las E. Williams, Chairman of
the Ontario Food Council, to
begin investigations into this
matter and to report his find-
ings. as soon as these investiga-
tions are complete. - •
• As chairman of this investia'
gation, Mr. Williams will have
the full authority to summon
any person and to require him
to give evidence under oath,
and to require him to produce
suchdocuments and information
as he deems requisite to this
inquiry."
