"I am disappointed that nothing concrete appears in the budget papers addressing the. major needs of agriculture. For example, thereis no mention of any innovative ways to provide long-term financing to agriculture. Many proposals on this crucial area have been made by -farm and agribusiness groups and by provincial governments, which have been ignored," said Timbrell. • He said, many farmers will be disap- pointed that "badly needed revisions" to Section 31 of ttie income Tax Act pertaining to small and part-time farmers are put off for further study by a consultative group. The negative and inequitable implications of changes in the interpretation of this sec- tion brought about by a supreme court case in 1977 are widely known and have been the subject of intensive study and discussion at all levels. He said, Ontario will be pleased to present the results of our studies to the consultative group at the earliest possible time so that the current inequitable treatment of this group of farmers can be rectified as soon a:° ° possible.
