Liberals host agricultural roundtable LUCKNOW — Federal Liberal candidate for Huron -Bruce Greg McClinchey will be jointly hosting an agricultural roundtable with other area Liberal candidates Thurs., March 20. In addition to McClinchey, Orlando DaSilva (Kitchener - Conestoga), Tim Fugard (Sarnia- Lambton), Suzanne VanBommel (Elgin -Middlesex -London), Thom Noble (Bruce -Grey -Owen Sound) and Matt Daudlin (Chatham - Kent -Essex) will participate. In addition to area farmers and local farm leadership, the Liberal Vice -Chair of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri -Food, Paul Steckle, and Liberal Party of Canada National Critic for Agriculture, Wayne Easter, will be participating in the discussions. "The Liberal Party of Canada is committed to the establishment of a long-term, fully -funded National Food Security Policy," McClinchey said. "Simply put, once enacted, this policy would, for the first time in history, bring focus to government program- ming and policies pertaining to agriculture with the goal of set- ting the industry on a stable foot- ing for the next generation. "Farmers need policies and pro- gramming that are long-term, sustainable and bankable and, if the industry is to survive, they need it now. To do this effectively, governments must listen to indus- try leaders and farmers directly; something that this consultation is set to kick off." Steckle added, "If elected, this group of candidates would repre- sent the bulk of the National Liberal Rural Caucus and with that in mind, I believe that it is very important to start building and maintaining stronger work- ing ties between stakeholders and political leaders. "The Liberal Party has signalled a profound desire to move quickly and decisively on this matter and it is encouraging to see such energy and devotion from our area candidates. "I look forward to working with our candidates, with our farmers and with our farm leadership to make certain that a national food security policy is implemented without delay," Steckle conclud- ed. The round -table is scheduled for Thurs., March 20 at 1 p.m. at the Agri-Plex (130 Duke Street) in Seaforth. Members of the public and media are welcome to attend.
