The Ontario Liberal Party has consistently opposed the immediate inclusion of farmers under this oc- cupational health and safety bill. During committee hearings on this bill, Hugh O'Neil, one of my Liberal colleagues, moved the following amendment: "Notwithstanding subs- ection 1, this Act does not apply to farms unless designated generally or specifically by regulation." Every Liberal member of the committee supported Miscellaneous Rumblings — Continued from Page 4 manner, said in a letter to director of education John Cochrane he was "really quite shocked and offended to read some of this stuff. Of all the crap I have ever heard, that has to be it, and I can tell you that if that material is going to be taught in Huron county high schools when my children go to high school, they won't be going to the public system." Isn't that somewhat of an overstatement? If nothing else Gaunt's letter is good for a laugh when he states that he doesn't want to sound "prudish for self-righteous" but "If we continue to sow this kind of stuff in the minds of young people we will sow to the wind and reap the whirlwind." Pardon? In the article in the Goderich Signal -Star from which the above passages were taken, Clarice Dalton of the CWL termed the Huron -Bruce MPP's response the most positive. • While admitting that she had not read the books, she said that the excerpts from the books were "proof enough" to have the three novels eliminated. Let's see now; this writer has read one out of . three -33 percent, not a passing mark, a spokesman for the CWL is 0 for 3, better drop the course and a sup- porter of the league doesn't show any great knowledge of the books, Maybe it would have been a better idea to have held our respective tongues and let the board of educa- tion decide this matter on its own accord. this amendment. Mr. Eaton and every one of his Conservatjve colleagues in the Committee voted against the amendment. The NDP also voted against the amendment. Had Mr. Eaton and his colleagues supported our amendment, farmers would have been excluded from the Bill. Now Mr, Eaton seems to want to forget how he voted in committee. Now Mr. Eaton is mixing the question of coverage for farmers with coverage for other groups. Does Mr. Eaton not agree with the Federation of Agriculture that the agricultural sector is dif- ferent from other sectors and that "agriculture requires special con- sideration in the develop- ment of Occupational Health and Safety Legislation?" The Minister of Labour and her supporters appear to be holding farmers of this province as hostages. They know that farmers shouldn't be covered, but they won't allow them to be "excluded unless the Minister gets her way with respect to other aspects of Bill 70 that are completely unrelated. I know where I stand with respect to the farm" com- munity. I don't believe that farmers should be included in this Bill at this time, and I voted that way. Mr. Eaton can't say the same thing. Yours truly, Jack Riddell AIllances Sir: • For freedom -loving Canadians the time has come for the ringing of a fire bell in the night. Such a warning has been sounded by Canadian editor Ron Gostick in his booklet, "Canada: The Moment of Truth." This well documented account com- pletely exposes the alliance between Pierre Trudeau and his long-time political .associate, Rene Levesque. Canadians who value their future and that of their children must read and circulate this booklet. They must become aware of the ideological backgrounds, methods and objectives of Messrs. Trudeau and Levesque --and the threat that their ,alliance poses to Canada. "Canada: The Moment of Truth" is available at $1,00 a copy from: The Canadian League of Rights, Box 130, Flesherton, Ontario NOC 1E0. Very truly yours, Malcolm.
