might learn enough in the

of the course, and even his
gas.”

Confidential
data will
be debated
Representatives of at least
10 Ontario farm marketing
boards will meet with
Revenue Canada officials to
discuss federal demands for
confidential information on
the incomes and production
of thousands of farmers.
Robert Daudlin, Liberal
MP for the riding of Kent-
Essex, says the Ottawa
meeting will be held Dec. 4 to
clarify the legality and
reasons for the demands. He
says he has received com
plaints from at least one
board about information
demands.
“It’s a question of con
fidentiality and whether the
boards have the authority to
disclose this information.”
The Ontario Wheat
Producers’ Marketing Board
and the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture are seeking
legal advice on the requests.
At least three boards have
not complied with the federal
requests - the wheat board,
the Ontario Soya Bean
Growers’ Marketing Board
and the Ontario Burley
Tobacco Growers’
Marketing Board.
Ross Addeman, wheat
board manager, said a letter
was received last month but
the.board has not released
any information,
“We say no, that’s ab
solutely against our
security,” he said. “If a
producer figures his records
are not secure it’s game
over. It’s directly a case of
civil rights.”
The burley tobacco bpard
received the letter in
October and “we’re not
going to answer it,” said
Leon Meersseman, board
chairman. “We really feel
we don’t have any power at
all td reveal that in-
i formation.”
I Some boards have com
plied with the federal
demands, such as the
Ontario Flue-Cured Tobacco
Growers’ Marketing Board,
which has submitted
detailed information on
incomes and production of
tobacco growers, annually
since 1957.
There has never been an
objection to this practice,
said Jim Leathong, board
secretary-manager.
