The semi-precious gems, the -official stone of the province, were sent to the museum by the Firefighters of Thunder Bay. Bob McKinley reports from Ott�wc, Once again it is my pleasure to report to you from Ottawa on this first part of the,30th session. Over a year has come and gone since the election of a majority Government to the House of Commons, and a review of the legislation introduced by them adequately demonstrates the need for positive; defined policies in this country. There have been Ia good number of events, notably the introduction of not one, but two budgets, Which could be cited Ias evidence that Canada might be in the throes of recession and we are in need of measures which ,, can put the country back ,on course. Despite promises that inflation, vinuld be ``Wrestled to the ground", I think the Govern- ment has instead decided to watch this raging battle or a while. Unemployment has ri to new heights, and some of those solutions we were promised, for some very serious problems, have not been forthcoming. In fact, the budget of June 23rd would have been better not brought forth at all. In the area of agriculture there has been some new legislation enacted. Several of these were western grain bills, but Bill C-34 and Bill C-50, for example will affect farmers in this region. Bill, 'C-34 was a change in conditions on loans in the Farm Credit Act. The new form of this law will allow for a 5 year phase-in period for young farmers between ages 18 and 35. Our amendment to raise the age of eligibility to 40 was defeated, but the legislation did allow for a higher percentage loan to actual value, and the ceil- ing on the value of the loans was raised. However, regulations concerning this bill initiated by 1 1 1 t 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 the minister of Agriculture and the Department of Agriculture have caused the bill to be inef- fective to a large degree. Farm Credit financing was also one of the areas which suffered a cut- back in the last budget. Bill C-50 the Agricultural Stabilization Act, also passed the House. This Bill allows for a minimum return to the producer based on 90 per cent of the aver- age prices at the farm -gate over the past five years. I am sure that we're all well aware that 90 per cent of the prices for the last five years will do nothing to stabilize farm 'trip. This lehly4d r- tised 11 s act''uy 1y slighly 611 -v4 -version' of the original Stabilization Bill intro- duced' several years ago. In its original form it was much more effective than these amendments will be. Recent developments have also pointed out the need for a long- term policy on industrial milk, as promised by the government some time ago. The doubling of the levy (used to subsidize ex- ports) has effectively wiped out the higher subsidy granted to dairy producers a year ago. When you realize that there are 5 or 6 dairy producers in Ontario 'leaving the business every day, you would probably agree that there is a need for long-term poli- cies to ensure a stable and confi- dent industry. The announcement of a new Transportation Policy in June was a welcome event,' although there will be snow on the ground before any specific details are re- leased. My understanding of the policy is that when effective, pay - Dungannon delegation attends EW council A delegation of new property owners from the village of Dun- gannon attended the August meeting of West Wawanosh Township Council to discuss the construction of a road in that village for acces.g to lots recently. purchased by them. The owners present agreed that they would look after construction of an access road. At 9:15 council sat as court of revision on the assessments in provisional by-law 19, 1975, The G4unt Municipal Drain by-law. Harvey Sproul of Dungannon spoke to Council about the seemingly unfair charges for street lights in Dungannon. Mel Lyons requested council to reimburse him for a day's pay and truck rental which had been overlooked earlier in the year. The discrepancy was found and corrected. Morley Johnston appeared before council with regard to the Smyth Drain, which is in need of repair and -or improvement. The clerk read a letter from Murray Wilson and Cecil Cranston per- taining to the same drain. Before requesting the services of an engineer, council will attempt to ascertain the feeling of the -*owners who have contacted them about the drain,as to whether they feel it should be engineered or not. Draft agreements drawn up for signatureby the three Townships and Lucknow, who are all in- volved with the new tanker truck and fire hall, were read, studied and revised. The clerk wag- directed asdirected to return the agree- ments to the solicitor, noting the revisions to be made. A motion by Councillors Hickey and Cranston was carried: "That the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority (M.V.C.A.) be en- larged by the addition of the watersheds of all streams enter- ing Lake Huron from the point where the north boundary of the M.V.C.A. meets the shore of Lake Huron to the point where the south boundary of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority meets Lake Huron and including all of Ashfield, Colborne, East and West Wawanosh Townships; part of Huron, Kinloss and Cul- ross townships, and the villages of Lucknow and Ripley." Councillors Foran and Hickey made a motion that West Wawanosh Township apply for a grant under the Ontario Home Renewal Program. The township adopts the Ontario Home Renewal Program Guide for resi- dential property. as its basis for building standards. ing competition' exists, no subsi- dies will be given to public trans- portation. If this . competition, does not exist, then subsides might be made available.' Although this might have some meaning for S.W. Ontario, we will have to wait for more specific details. This ' session in the House of Commons ended . on a very controversial note. The 10 cent excise tax on gas," which is now law, was fiercely opposed by the Opposition. We felt that' the average consumer was already being too heavily penalized. In ateas wll c d; ce{ ,l „ive al#�er- efo�of,��ltd rtatioti to ..tunt4ttiAliiS very simply be an added burden to carry, and not a measure encouraging conservation, The principle behind the move H as a little hard to understand in its general context. If the tax on gasoline was meant to encourage conservation of energy, should not the money raised be headed "for exploration or at least into providing an alternate means of transportation? Instead these revenues will be used to offset the massive deficit in the last budget. May I take this opportunity to say thank you for the encourage- ment and support in my efforts in Parliament on behalf 'of the con- stituents of Huron -Middlesex. Parliament is now recessed until mid-October and I am looking forward to more time in the con- stituency during the coming weeks. GET CAT READY FOR WINTER. CE TO OUR PRE SEASON TUNE - UP SPECIAL.
