" Mr. Hill says the committeeman structure of the cominussion would give mote at curate representation of the producers in Ontario. The conunitteemen would be a link between the producers and the zone direr tors, and would be voting delegates at the annual meeting of Wie commission He says the current makeup of the 49 OCA directors is unfair, as some directors are from districts where there are fewer beef producers than there are m single townships in other distracts. He says the commit- teemen would be elected using a formula uaseu on cattle population and producer numbers He says the commssstort will prornott freezer sales, and addl one of the most at - Live OBPC members makes half tus living from freezer sales He also believes Western Canada pro- aucers would simply not accept supply management, as they export heavily to the U.S. and Japan. The marketing commission could stop you Mon) selling to an Ontario packer, but it won't stop a packer from buying from the west or from the U.S., was another of Mr i'err's points He contended producers would be restricted from selling to the small abattoir. or selling freezer beef directly to the con- sumer, but must sell cattle using an agent of the commission. "How much is the commission going to cost. No one•knows, but it will cost money to regulate sales," he noted Mr. Kerr also pointed out the commission would be nondemocratic, and said it won't be "producer -controlled." Eighteen direc- tors on the commission will be appointed to their positions for the first three years if the commission is voted in. And five of these directors will be non;producers from the beef industry. They'll be from trucking marketing system to. -promote consumption, and a.demoeratic industry. "We aliagree on these things," he said. "What .we disagree on is how to achieve them," He added that,what is.being voted on is, "will the ;proposed commission .help achieve these things?"

He ad- vised producers that it is up to them to make up their own minds he points to the pork industry which ha: developed over a long period of time, and advises producers who are worried about supply management to look at the pork pro- ducere ' •who're no closer to supply manage- ment than they were at the start " "Forget supply n:ianagement, because it's not attainable at this vote ' QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS in a question and aswer period winch followed the deflate, Mr. Kerr and Mr. Hili handled emitter) questions and questions from the floor One question directed at bon Hill was "for supply management in the dairy industry tc- work one-third of producers had to drop out. Will it be the same for beef" The reply was those producers dropped out because of a trend toward fewer needed producers in agriculture, and not because o supply management. He added supply management will not keep producers from going broke, but it will keep a portion of gains made ue efficiency for producers. rather than all oenefits going to dropping consumer prices. Mr. Kerns response was that suppis management doesn't guarantee support ce all producers m the system Another question to Mr. Hill was "the ex- emptions aren't there yet. How do you ex- pect us to vote if we don't know what we're votuig on, "Look around. responded Mr. Hill. "how many pigs are exempt " He added that the apple commission allows 40 per cent of ap- ples to be exempt, but the system still works. He finished by saying producers will have to let their wishes be known and fight for what they want "Where would you draw the line," came back Mr. Kerr "And wherever you draw the line it's gang to seem unfair to someone ' Another for Mr. Hill "How will young fanners enter the industry and farmers ex- pand if supply is limited?" His response was that he didn't want to waste two minutes speaking on OBPC ideas to answer this, but invited people to talk with him after the meeting for 5 or 10 minutes. Question: Why do we need other r-epresen- tatives other than beef producers on the commission?" Mr. Hill : "We need them there, they're all part of the industry and if we're going to be successful we need them to do it." Mr. Kerr: "We don't need them. The OLA works with other sectors and bas excellent relations. If we have a problem we get together andsolve it," Heaaid it doesn't im- prove the system to have them a part of it, and it may distort the decision snaking process. "Mr. Hill, could the commission stop out of province cattle from going directly to the packer?" "No." .Question for Mr. Kerr: "Why has.the,pork industry expanded with organized marketing while the .beef industry ,has declined.without it?" tMr: Kerr,said it.would.take;quite aapeech to,answer this nuestionelhabewaid,thapro- .wessef eierdeliquedationwhiehattareedwah the-recession=of 19i2iehded.this Y.Oar,with a ti+rr,ee,percentgrowtit,,fn:the,inpfd stry. -$ogrProducers,,he oddedi;protluee:encii0 tchbeiOniamexportjiasisosthereithe Q, o cattle;it dUstt'y5Qperates:on,au•ii9PortbaSis.

Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle said Huron's plan also said the county would encourage private business to build the two satellite homes north and south. But, he complain- ed. the ministry will not consider that. Repeatedly. Mickle asked Girard for an explanation. But she said simply that it is against ministry policy to transfer extend- ed care beds out of "the pubhc domain ' "The proposal we have before us Is wrong. totally wrong," said Mickle I think the people of Huron deserve more...once you put it all in the centre again, you're into proposal which hacks flexibility for the future ' The lengthy session got confusing at tunes as councillors and administrator Bill /clari- ty differed over what council was being ask- ed to decide The motion before council. which stemm- ed from an earlier Huronview committee meeting with Girard and otherministry of- firlais, affirzned:tiie county' "belief" m its original plan, but asked council to instead consider alternative housing in the north and south while building a nee , 181 -bed facility m Clinton That monor•• wa.e defeatec once then defeated again one 14-12 recorded 'vote after leanly expressed concern that councii may no; have known.
