Property rights not threatened: Timbrell
$Y sHA'ItON.DILTz
Ontario's agriculture min-
ister assured members of the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture last week that
the proposed farm land tax
rebate program is safe and
that farmers do not have to
fear the government is trying
to usurp. their property
rights.
A fundamental part of
the proposed tax changes
in the pr gram is that the
individual farmer will still
pay his or her taxes to the
municipality," stated Mr.
Timbrell, who was speaking
to the North West Huron
Federation of Agriculture
annual meeting at the Luck -
now District Community
Centre, April 20.
The tax rebate proposal
cabs for farmers to pay taxes
.on their houses and a 'deem-
ed' lot. The lot, because it
cannot be severed, will be
assessed at 50 per cent of a
similar lot. Farmers will be
eligible to receive a rebate of
100 per cent of the taxes on
their farm property, land and
farm buildings.
A previous proposal ex-
empting farmers from paying
taxes was dropped. The
municipalities feared an er-
asion of their tax base and
farmers feared a loss of
property rights because they
were not paying taxes.
Mr. Timbrell said present
fears that the new proposal
will result in a loss of
property rights some time in
the future, are based on a
misunderstanding of the in-
formation.
The people of this province
are not likely to elect a
government that will ignore
property rights, observed
Mr. Timbrell who pointed
out that if this argument is
followed to its logical con-
dusion, accepting any form
01 government assistance for
that land, says a system for
tile drainage debenture. a 25
per cent rebate or a 50 per
cent rebate or whatever,
would be sufficient grounds
to give government the auth.
orlty to take away property
rights. Mr. Timbt$11 added
that a government with that
kind of philosophy is not
likely to be put in power in
this province.
Premier William Davis an-
nounced in the legislature
the following day that Ontar-
io will support the inclusion
of property rights In the
diarter of rights. If property
rights are entrenched in the
constitution, said Mr: Tim-
brell, nothing could abridge
an Individual's property
rights by reason of applying
Sot or accepting government
assistance.
While Mr. Timbrell was
asked to speak to the meet-
ing to explain the farm tax
rebate program, most quest-
ions asked during the quest-
ion period did not refer to the
tax proposal. Instead farmers
took the opportunity to vent
some of their frustration with
high interest rates, low com-
modity prices and foreign
absentee ownership.
