Mr. McKinley.-Ma-y.I..ask_the

whether °he intends to convene a

government as requested by.

October 12 - -"`
Mrs' R. E. McKinley (Huron):,
Mr. Speaker, having regard to
the statement just made by the
• Minister of Agriculture (Mr.
Olson) •1 am aware that the
Ontario Turkey • Federation .
made representations to. • the
minister and the. board as early
as late Augu`st or .early in
Septerhber. I have also ' made
Strong -..representations to , the,
. minister'and the chairman of the
Agriculture Products Board in
this"regard. .
We all know that at this time
turkey prices -are the lowest they
have been for 25 years. Thi's has,:
Clinton.
Hon. Donald C. Jamieson
(Minister of Transport): Yes, Mr.
Speaker, ..and thanks to the
representations the hon, member
has made on innumerable
occasions in this regard I have -
had the most exhaustive study
made of the Clinton base along
ire
! 1
turkey poults. Production of
turkey'poults by Canadian firms
in the United States is increasing
and Canadian workers are being
laid off.
I am sure we are all -thankful.
for the little bit of assistance the
minister has announced today. I
realize th,he producers asked
'.�yauSv,, uAWv.�v.,vd d��v,'s.� i ,o.,
'that some' 8-, mrllron to 10
million-' pounds of turkeys be
pu,rch,ased o for the world food
"-program. The minister has not'
said how much will be purchased
for this- purpose, but 1 do not
-think, the amount will be
anything `"'fi'Ite"u'--"what-" was
requested, I am sorry to say.' I
certainly hope that ,what has
beep .decided mill ,be •helpful. at '
the ,present,tirne and that further
action will be taken when
necessary: We will expect the
government to keep a watchful
eye on the situation and take
further action in this regard
when necessary. ^'
'Also October 12 -
Mr. R. E. McKinley (Huron):
Mr. Speaker, can the minister.
the
tell the House whether
deficiency payment for the past
year will be made on eggs? I
understand---that---the--assessment
period ended at the 'end of
Septertnber.
Hon. H. A, Olson (Minister of
Agriculture): I will look into
,that to see .whether the price •
falls b_ elow the moving average
and 1 will report to the House
^tomorrow.. .

McKinley's speech concerning

Plans were made for the joint

There will be' a pot -luck

"Some parts of the legislation
particularly concern me and 1
should like to turn to these now.
One . concern is how ° the

should like to give hon. members'
a rundown on the hardships
farmers will suffer under the

"Under the former law a
farmer could classify his cattle as
,a basic herd. Any gains or losses
would be treated as a capital
gain or 'a capital loss and such.
gains would be exempt from tax.
Under - the present bill' the basic
herd -arpd straight line
depreciation provisions will " be
eliminated and livestock farmers
will have ui t.il Decelnber 31 this
year to establish their basic herd.
Following that, any gain on the
basic herd will- be tax free -but no
new additions to the•herd will be
allowed. -• In addition, assets
acquired after December 31
M�rnust be depreciated in
accordance with the diminishing
balance system 'lf proceeds from
the sale of assets depreciated on
a straight line basis exceed their
valuation, then the amount of
the excess is regarded as a capital
gain.
"I Chink this will be the
greatest..'hardship..the. faxming
,eorthnunity yiltsuffer.under.the,'; .
new legislation. At the present
time a farmer can purchase a
combine or a tractor, and since
it has a motor it is depreciated at
the rate of 20 per cent.
Therefore, in five yearsthis--
machinery would -haveen
,completely depreciated: At The
same time, it -would retain some
commercial value and could be
traded' i or • yv._.ma. flines._In-..-
turn, this would mean another
farmer who could not afford a
new machine could buy a , used
one. This was regarded as a
capital gain. and the farmer- did
not have to pay tax on the
amount he realized on the
machine.
• "Under the provisions of -the
new ligislation the proceeds of
sale will be taxed as a capital'
gain, and as 'I understand the
situation the farmers Will be very
reluctant to trade in any
machine for a new one if it still
has some commercial value. This
will mean that ' the machinery
manufacturing companies will
_ .los e ; business. ..and-.. the.
employees will suffer. In
addision, more farmers will look
to "custom co'mbrninginstead of
purchasing their own machines. I
believe this will be one of the
major hardships ' suffered by
farmers under the legislation.
"Other capital gains will also
be subject to tax. Hobby farmers
will be able to deduct only
$5,000 of any loss incurred. In
this regard 1 wjsh to. raise a
grievance with the Minister of
Finance (Mr. Benson}, or, more
particularly, with the, Minister of
National Revenue (Mr. Gray).
