Bruce FCP delegation
attends winter congress
Five executive members of the
Bruce Riding Family Coalition
Party Association attended a mid-
winter congress in Toronto recently.
In his report, FCP President Vince
Higgins commended the Elections
Commissions committee for its
treatment and respect for the newly
formed party. During last Sep-
tember's provincial election, the
FCP fielded 36 candidates who drew
over 48,000 votes.
Leader Don Pennel of Burlington
further encouraged those in at-
tendance. He said that although
society is in a moral decline, this
may be necessary to awake people
from apathy, and cited the Supreme
Court decision on abortion as an
example. Although members may
get discouraged because of the
issues which need to be faced, they
should believe they can affect
positive change, he added.
One of the items of business
discussed at the congress was
Sunday shopping. The FCP believes
a day of common pause is very
important for quality of life, and will
be supporting efforts to maintain it.
Delegates also felt that ' govern-
ment spending of tax dollars on new
women's centres is a duplication of
existing health services, which at
the same time excluded men. The
money would be much better spent
on alternatives to abortion without
hurting or offending anyone. Also in,
regard to abortion, it was noted that
men are being left out of the decision
process over the rights of their chil-
dren.
In regard to the new fCderu!
Christian Heritage Party, the FCP
decided it does not fully endorse all
of its policies, but encourages the
new party in its efforts.
A current priority of the FCP is
establishing new riding associations
in areas where they do not already
exist. As the FCP plans to have
candidates running in every riding
in the next provincial election,
existing riding associations are
helping voters in anighboring areas
to form associations of their own.
The FCP is also further
developing well thought-out policies
on all issues, with all candidates
having an underlying pro-life at-
titude.
salaries of young people hired for
new summer jobs. The subsidy is
available for hiring extra young
people in addition to the ones an
employer would normally hire
duringathe summer. Employers who
have participated in the program in
the past will receive information this
month about this year's program.
About 53,000 jobs -through 30,000
employers will be created by the $30.
million program.
Summer Experience '88 provides
7,500 career -related jobs for
students in Ontario government
ministries and agencies. The
available jobs are listed in the
Summer Experience brochure
available through guidance coun-
selling offices in high schools and
placement officies in colleges and
universities. The program will cost
$14.9 million.
Although farmers have- suffered
from low Bona »od ty .prices during
the past few year% support
payments from the agriculture
stabilization programs continue to
benefit grain and oilseed farmers
who are outside the Canadian Wheat
Board designated areas, says
Huron -Bruce MP Murray Cardiff.
Mrs .'Cardiff made the -statement
while commenting on the recent
announcement that eastern
Canadian grain producers will
receive an additional $10.3 million in
stabilization payments for their 1986
crops under the Agricultural,
Stabilization Act.
These payments to oats, barley
and spring wheat producers are in
addition to the nearly $170 -million
payment for soybeans, corn and
winter wheat announced in early
December, Mr. Cardiff said.
Oats producers will receive a
payment of $12.88 per tonne and
barley producers will receive $17.69..
per tonne. Spring wheat producers{
will receive a payment of $13.44 per
tonne for both feed and_milling
wheat.
In addition, the crop year for corn
has been ellanged to
to Sept 30, inste .
31, in order tot in a
reflect the industry selling
This will add $3 million, to thepa
for corn as an additional 2
tonnes of corn will be eligible,
Cardiff said. Stabilization payments
for 1986-87 eastern grains will
totalabout $185 million:.
Under the Agricultural Stabilize-
tion Act, support prices for com-
modities are based on 90 per cent of
the five-year average market
prices, adjusted for changes in pro-
duction costs. All producers outside
the Canadian Wheat Board desig-
nated
esignated areas will be eligible for these
payments.
This fulfills an election promise to . w
amend the act to allow for an in-
