The Farm ,Stabilization �Bill - which was introduced by the Government on the opening a incorporated many of the amendments made by the Opposition . Members to the Bill which was defeated in the ` spring session. The Minister pf Agri ure responded 'to. Oppo ion de ands" to grin in I gisiation to provide vol n tary. contributory t ut or Y Pl � co ring all commodities. "T a 'new legislation is h.i.ng d. to the Federal Stabilizatiof Plan, whicht guarantees farmers uJ to -90- percent of the averagit of the i last five years' prices on certain 'named commodities. Other commodities under the Federal Plan can be designated for a. price guarantee of up to 90 percent in ally one-year pending the decision of, the Federal ri Farm stabilization T.Ott Government after taking into consideration the, existing market Brice and the effect that theprice would have on producersand future -production.- . Under, the proposed legislation the Province will' all commodities the. Onta rio assurance to the consumer o ce .' an ..adequat.e supply of high ve u . qalt t foo at d Y _ reasonable er prices. ge'. When`' introducing Abe Family: Law Reform" Act, for )7 9 G, the Attorney General, n. „the Honourable' Roy McMurtry. said that 'the Y existing common and statute law has failed: to keep pace 1 with the challenges of modern e family life: - He said that the e new Bill sweeps away the n ramshackle structures of the n law governing matrimonial property and support obligations in. a marriage breakdown situation. The bill contains, new rights available. to both spouses` protecting, the security:. of the family, home.' and ' abolishes the ancient right of dower. The„ bill comprises. five parts, each dealing with distinct though related subject areas. - Part One deals with the division of family ,assets between the spouses where the . marriage breakdown gccurs. The basic rule in that is that family assets will be divided. equally. between 'the spouses. Fatnily assets which ,com•prise' property owned by either or both spouses, the things that . a. family use together as a family, Would Plan supports the differen between 90 per Gent of .the'fi year aver age price and 95 p cent, of the five year a vera price. This is satisfactory commodities named and f be shared equally by the spouses on a marriage ,break- break- down regardless who had bought the property and irrespective of which spouse held legal -title. 'Part two concerns the obligati obligatipns• of spouses to support each other and their children, whether born within or outside` of marriage, and of children to support,their parents in accordance with the needs and capacity of each party. This part also creates a limited obligation of. one common law spouse to support the other. - Where two ' persons lived together as, if .married, one. person 'frequently becomes dependent on the' other, `" especially if there is a,child of the union. If. one of these two'.. people is no - longer self- sufficient, it is reasonable to look to .the other to assist in restoring. him or her to. financial independence: Mr: McMurtry said it was more desirable to place • a support obligation on com- mon law spouses than have a large •number of persons, who are living 'common law., looking to public welfare for support: A common law' spouse : can claim support only after at -least two years cohabitation ad() another five per.cent on to ,•. the' Federal .. Plan guaranteeing. 95 per cent on named .commodities under the Federal Plan which:must be-supported'to a level of at least 90 per: cent. But for any commodity that. • is not covered to the 90 per' cent level by Ottawa, the Ontario Plan will simply`acld another five per cent of the last five years' avei-age. market price of , that: commodity' to , the, prevailing market. price: For • the. Feder -WI– "Stabitizati Plan but it is extremel punishing for, commodities not covered by, the Federa Plan. As: critic of th Agriculture Ministry for th. Liberal Party, I feel that i the absence of a Federal Pla the Provincial Plan should provide full protection, ' Another weakness in the bill is the method of indexing for. adjusting payments' to keep up'with 'the inflation. Th'e.cost used for indexing in accordance with the bill are cash cost :and in my opinion the indexing system should cover all production costs. This could include a return for the farmer's labour and investment. There is also the danger .in this bill that the, support level on named cominodities under the Federal Plan is too rigid;.The Bill states that the support evel must be 95 per cent of he five year average price djusted for changes in some nput costs.: In some com- modities where . over roduction is feared,. roducers may not want a upport'level that is that high. .All in all we in 'the Liberal arty are pleased that the rogram is to be voluntary nd that farmers are to ontribute. Apart from the pport level for unnamed or redesignated " commodities • der the Federal Pian we e .pleased that all com- odities are to be covered d that there is provision for' nsultation with farrri ganizations . and an op- rtunity for the Federal. vernment to share the st. As I indicated previously I uld• like to see some endments to the bill and if proved then I feel we have en a major step forward* inging some kind .>"f bility to the.. agricultur'' . ustry ' in Ontario and 'the, a p p ' s • P p a c su u un ar m an co or po •••.Go .-co wo am ap tak br. sta ind Seven young ladies proudly: display their certificates as they moved up to Girl Guides last Friday, The new Guides fromleft are Heather Gingrich, Nancy Bugler, Mary Beth Alexander, Susan.
