Attorney general
to speak at
Liberal meeting
Ontario's Attorney General, Ian Scott,
will be the guest speaker at the annual
meeting of the Huron Provincial Liberal
Riding Association.
The yearly gathering will be held at the
Blyth Community Centre on April 6,..with a
reception at 6 p.m. followed by a dinner at 7
p.m.
During the meeting, a new executive will
be elected and delegates to the Ontario
Liberal Party's annual meeting in Ottawa
on May 6-8 will also be selected.
Mr. Scott, who is the after dinner speaker,
was first elected to the Legislature on May
2, 1985, and was named Attorney -General by
Premier David Peterson on June 26, 1985
when the Liberals defeated the Progressive
Conservatives and formed a minority
government.
Subsequently re-elected in the September
10 election, Mr. Scott was reappointed At-
torney General in the Literal lihajbrlty
government.
Mr. Scott has steered some much needed
reformist legislation through the Ontario
legislature during the Liberal's term so far,
including a new Pay Equity law, Freedom
of Information and Right to Privacy Act,
and Conflict of Interest Guidelines for
Legislature members, to name only a few.
All have been heralded as ground -breaking
pieces of Legislation.
Tickets for the meeting, at $15 each, are
available from any executive member or
municipal chairperson around the county.
OFA wants
successful
programs,
extended
Government cash grant programs are
successfully helping farmers deal with hard
economic times and they should be extend-
ed, says the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture.
Singling out the Ontario Farm Family In-
terest Rate Reduction (OFFIRR) program
and the Farm Management, Safety and
Repairs program, the OFA asked Provin-
cial Treasurer Robert Nixon to continue
assistance to cash-strapped farmers. "The
programs were created to fill specific
needs, and these needs still exist," em-
phasized OFA president, Brigid Pyke.
Agriculture is a capital -intensive industry
with a high demand for credit. Debt financ-
ing is expensive in real terms and Ontario
farmers' traditional source - the federal
. Farm Credit Corporation - is teetering on
the brink of bankruptcy.
"Provincial government agencies outside
Ontario are now supplying almost 15 per-
cent of long-term agricultural credit, and
they're doing it at a rate two percentage
points below FCC and four points below the
banks. Ontario farmers need access to that
kind of long term, low cost credit and we're
asking this provincial government to get
moving," says Mrs. Pyke.
While the Federation's main thrust in its
meeting with Nixon was for better farm
credit and improved stabilization for cash
crop farmers, the farm leaders also argued
for new economic development programs
for rural Ontario. Among the program area
OFA recommended were: Rural enterprise
development: encouragement of tourism,
retirement, and service industries to conn;
pliment agriculture as income source. Agro -
forestry: the conversion of selected crop
land to woodland to alleviate excess produc-
tion in some commodities and provide addi-
tional on-farm income. Support for small-
scale farmers: a peer advisor program
which would offer assistance in developing
ma pagment and production skills. Grain -
derived ethanol: provincial cooperation
with the federal government in developing
alcohol -based gasoline. This would create a
new domestic market for local grains which
are now in oversupply.
