Framework provided
Agriculture Minister John Wise has,
announced that Bill C-25, an,Act to Amend
the Agricultural Stabilization Act (ASA), has
received royal assent.
These amendments to the ASA will
provide a framework within which tripartite
stabilization programs can operate, Mr.
Wise said,
' . t co-operative and more flexible ap-
proach to commodity stabilization Will be in
the interest of the entire agriculture indus-
try," he added.
Bill C-25 allows the federal government to
enter into stabilization agreements with
provinces and commodity groups, provided
the terms of the agreements do not give one
region financial benefit over another or
encourage any region to over -produce a
specific commodity.
This gives the government the flexibility to
take into account all major distortions to
orderly marketing when negotiating stabili-
zation agreements.
The Minister commented that the tripartite
principles of Bill C-25 have been on the
drawing board for many years, and he
tripartite agreement. W e provided the
enabling legislation. Now, the opportunity
for action is in the producers' hands," he
said,
"The intention of the Act , is to protect
producers against severe cost -price squeeze
situations while respecting comparative and
competitive advantages.
"I feel that the amendments to the Act
bring this legislation into focus with the trade
realities of the 1980s."
Finally, under the provisions of Bill C-25,
the period on which the support price for any
commodity would be based is clarified and
revised. Support periods less than a year, but
pot less than 90 days, will now be allowed,
which means that stabilization payments can
be paid when producers need them most.
Since any plans negotiated under this Act
will be actuarially sound, producers will be
assured of payments when the formula
triggers them.
Board chairman appointed
Agriculture Minister John Wise has
announced the appointment of Hajo Versteeg
as chairman of the new Pest Management
Advisory Board (PMAB).
Mr. Versteeg, professor of law at the
University of New. Brunswick and, widely
recognized in environmental law, assumed
his new duties July 8, 1985. He is taking a
leave of absence from his teaching duties at
the university.
"I am pleased that a person with such
appropriate credentials has agreed to chair
the board," Mr. Wise said.
The PMAB was created as a result of

recommendations protrdad 56 Agriculture
Canada in a 1984 study of pesticide regulation
in Canada by Liora Salter of Simon Fraser
University in British Columbia. The board is
empowered to conduct inquiries, commission
studies and appoint committees.
"I view the creation of the PMAB as a
significant step forward in opening pesticide
regulation to public consultation," Mr. Wise
said. "Its recommendations will improve the
entire regulatory system."
Other members of the board, representing
public and scientific interests, will be
appointed before the PMAB starts full
operation later this summer.

Crop payments
to be doubled
The Advance Payments for Crops Program
involves money which is loaned interest-free.
to producers to permit crops to be stored after
harvest for later sale. The funds are
dispersed through producer -owned commod-
ity organizations under procedures regulated
by Agriculture Canada.
The amendments, which have been re-
quested by the Corn Association since early
1984, will increase the maximum amounts
available per producer to $30,000 for an
individual and up to $90,000 for a three-
member partnership or farm corporation.
The amendments also authorized a doubling
of the total amount of loan guarantees
available for all crop commodities undo% the
program, to •$400 million annually.
The Corn Association has submitted an
application requesting up to $40 millionbe
made available for Ontario corn farmers for
the 1985 crop.
The Ontario Corn Producers' Association is
delighted with amendments to the Advance
Payments for Crops Act which were passed
by the Parliament of Canada on June 26.
College buys farm
The purchase of a 60 -hectare (a50 acre)
farm near Exeter will allow Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology to improve its
service'to western Ontario, Agriculture and
Food Minister Philip Andrewes said today.
"The purchase will improve the efficiency
of the college's research programs by
consolidating white bean, soybean, corn,
canola and rutabaga testing in one superior
location," said Andrewes. The college has
been renting land which is not tile drained,
while the Perth and Brookston clay loam soil
of the new site is fully tile drained.
The farm, located about two miles (three
kilometres) north of the college's Huron Park
campus, will be used for research, testing
and demonstrations.
W ork has already started on the layout of
research plot ranges for spring canola, while
early construction of an implement shed and
an agronomy field laboratory is planned.
