Skating Club
BY JACK RIDDELL, M.P.P.
HURON -MIDDLESEX
I am pleased to announce, along with my
colleague Minister of Tourism and Recrea-
tion John Eakins, a grant to the Goderich
Figure Skating Club in the amount of $4,300
under the Best Ever recreation program.
The money is to be used for an off-season
skating clinic. Best wishes to the Club for
continued success in their athletic
endeavors.
As part of the recent $54 million Pork In-
centive Plan I recently announced as
Minister of Agriculture and Food, I have ap-
pointed an 11 member advisory committee.
The committee which is composed of pork
producers, veterinarians and staff from my
ministry will review the progress of the pro-
gram, the farmers' response and recom-
mend revisions.
Already, my ministry has announced
some of the incentives available under the
plan, including help under a new extension
program that would -include the hiring of 13
new pork advisors, as well as help with farm
management programs to improve the effi-
ciency, productivity and profitability of On-
tario's pork producers.
There will also be grants to aid pork pro-
ducers covering two-thirds of the costs for
correcting ventilation problems; buying
weigh scales and washers, pregnancy detec-
ting equipment, and embryo transplant
facilities. Grants will be available to help
farmers with rodent control programs, ar-
tificial insemination, and veterinary -
supervised herd health programs.
These are just a few of the highlights of
the program and should you wish more

more details of the other phase of the pro-
gram — the Marketing Assistance` Plan for
pork.
CROP INSURANCE REVIEW
The weather so far in the summer of 1986
has not been kind to some of Ontario's cash
croppers and fruit and vegetable growers,
and crops have suffered heavy damage in
isolated spots throughout the province. As
Minister of Agriculture and Food, last spr-
ing I had anticipated some problems with
the federal -provincial crop insurance plan
and had asked the Crop Insurance Commis-
sion, together with the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture, to look into the program to
see if it had any shortcoxnings..
Their report is expected by the end of next
month, and at that time 11 anticipate examin-
ing all options, together with my federal
counterpart.
POTATO STAB IZATION
Because of the excell nt growing condi-
tions across Canada 1st year for fresh
market potatoes, Onta io potato growers
were faced with some o the lowest returns
for the crop in some yea s, some getting as
little as $2.50 for a hun red pound bag of
potatoes, far below theiricost of production.
The Ontario Govrnment has decided to
grant them $500,000 in stabilization grants.
The grant, being made in anticipation of a
new stabilization plan for fresh market
potatoes which I hope to announce in the
next few weeks, will pay the farmer 20.5
cents a hundredweight to a maximum of
$6,560 per farmer.
AGRICULTURE CONFERENCE
During the last week of August, I have
been privileged to represent Ontario at the
Federal -Provincial Agriculture Ministers'
annual conference in Victoria B.C. At the
same time I am helping 17 Ontario com-
panies and marketing boards to market
their product at the giant Food Pacific '86 in
Vancouver.
This is Canada's first international trade
show on food and boasts of a mix of interna-
tional participants, including a diverse
showcase of Ontario food products from tofu
ice cream to white beans. While there, I will
be hosting incoming trade missions from
Pacific Rim countries such as Singapore,
Malaysia, and Hong Kong whose large
populations could prove to be fertile
markets for Ontario's high-quality food
products.
HEALTHY ECONOMY
HELPS LOWER DEFICIT
Ontario enjoyed a healthy economy this
past year, contributing to the reduction of
the provincial deficit.
Ontario's deficit in the last year was $2.11
billion, $103 million less than Treasurer
Robert Nixon predicted in his first budget
last fall. The buoyant provincial economy
also helped generate an increase job op-
portunities, resulting in 171,000 more people
employed in Ontario during 1985-86.
