Stewart made the following • statement in the legislature on June 8, 1913 "In 196? the government et Maio introduced a program of capital grants for Ontariofar. niers, designed to ;Mist and en- courage farmers to make changes and improvements in their facilities in keeping with changes m modern farm tech- nology. At that time, a com- murnent was made that over a period of 12 years the govern- ment of Ontario would pay a total of $129 million. "In 1967-68 the expenditure was —just over $7 million. In 1908-89 it increased to $7.4 million. In VW - 'Mit dropped to 70itdroppedto $6.Bmillion and in 1970.71 to $5.3 million, "On April 1, 1971, --the program was amended, broadening the list of eligible items and providing for an increase in the maximum grant from. 32,5: to. $3,000 per farm. In addition;:' where there existed a partnership or in- corporated ,family farm busineSS in which two or .more . families were involved, the maximum amount was raised to $6,000, At thesame tune,we added the removal of dead and diseased elm trees to, the Jist.gf eligible items under the grant program..; The, response vas 'almost over- wbelming.'Iu '197X-72*. x,3}691` Was paid in capital grants. We met this , commitment thro supplementary estimates,. voted` 'ny the leslature- The following Year; 197243 was,`a repeat. per formance,, andwat` the Close .of: the fiscal year ;We, :had granted 5;649,901, : Again, we met our commitment through sup- tary 'estimates. '1We have reviewed our pos- ition with this policy at the halfway point, or in other words at We end of saxyears and we find ,we have already spent (up to March 31, 1973) $75,782,000 or almost per cent of the pro- jection, This leaves us with only $53,210,009 of the origin, 1 com- mitment, fitment, or 41 per cent and this must be spread over the remaining six years of the program. "We do not intend to return to' the Legislature for supplernen- taryestimates this year. During the current fiscal year we have allocated $10 million in the budget and when that has been spent, we will defer any further grant payments until the fol- lowing ol- to wing fiscal year. The possible exceptionto this is the section of the program dealing with farm water supplies and field enlarge- ment which comes under our AIVM agreement . with the Gov- ernment of Canada. "Therefore, a $10 million ceil- ing on capital grant expenditures will be applied this year, and we will be imposing,a .cut-off of pay - bents when that figure is reached. In the event that we find it necessary to defer payments of grants with respect to applica- tions received in this fiscal year, the applicants will be given first priority at the beginning of the new fiscal year. "Our extension staff in the county and district offices are being informed of this policy decision and will be so advising all`applicants."
