Following a tour of affected farms in Saskatchewan and Alberta, federal Agricul- turelVrmrsTernohn Wise and Ins counterparts from those two provinces decided to establish programs through which they could improve problems caused to crops and livestock by both grasshoppers and drought. An emergency task group will be establish- ed to work with the appropriate government agencies and to seek advice and input from those affected by the drought. The task group will be made up of Members of Parliament, Members of the two provincial Legislative Assemblies and senior government officials. This group will report back to the Ministers as soon as possible with option for consideration by the federal and provincial Cabinets. Although the crop and livestock sectors are both affected seriously, the problems of livestock producers will be the task group's immediate priority. Mr. Wise expressed shock at the seVerity of the conditions he saw in both Saskatch- ewan and Alberta. "I am deeply concerned," he said, "I have never seen anything this serious or so wide -spread in Canada." Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lorne Hepworth said, "We viewed the area and now is the time to act."
