In 'his talk he attempted to illustrate how the budget would hurt his constituents, many of whom are involved in agriculture. Mr. Cardiff began * explaining voters in his rid- ing voted for him after he had campaigned on the Cros- bie budget. "We do not like high energy prices," he said, "but we accepted that they were necessary and we un- derstood that the Crosbie budget had faced necessity honestly and squarely." Next, the MP described to the House the history of agriculture in Huron-Bruce, adding that in its early days it was the breadbasket of the British Empire. He followed. that with descriptions of how the region adapted with new crops after the vast wheat producing regions of the west were established. In general,' he said, our area has continued to thrive in agriculture. , . The member explained, however, that his riding was not totally involved 'in farm- ing, and mentioned the ele- vator complexes, in Hensall, the Brussels stockyards and Formosa's springs. He dis- cussed the Mildmay gravel deposits, the nuclear power stations in. Douglas Point and the large Goderich shipping bate. He finished his °Wine o? the economic base' of the region .by noting the strug- gles of local small busines- ses. Mr. Cardiff used his coma ments about the economic base of Huron-Bruce to pre- face his attack on the Liber- als and their budget. He noted one price paid by the area, in spite of its strong agricultural base, was our inability to establish industry strong enough to keep younger people from leaving the area. One example, he noted, was the larger num- ber of area people who migrated to the west which has led ,to "strong links of kinship with the west," from Huron-Bruce. He added the government has not made it easy for a strong industrial base to be established here. , With respect to energy provisions in the budget, Mr. Cardiff said his constituents, like others, don't like price increases but also accept them . as necessary for the benefits they will provide. He continued that the; Liberal government haSi Shown no inclination to ne- gotiate seriously with the producing provinces. "Mr. Speaker," he said, "the government's management of energy pricing is, equalled only by the cynicism of the coMtitutional , resolution it rammed through the House. two weeks ago." COSTS AREN'T LOWER He said the government hasteneged ;on, its promise during the election that it would keep, energy costs lower4att those provided for in the'„trosbie budget. In particular, he attacked the budget for, failing to keep promises Made to farmers during the election. He quot- ed a comment Eugene Whel- an, current Minsiter of Agri- culture, made whew he was an opposition Member in 1979. "I say that in 'any country you-want to check-in the • world," Mr. 'Cardiff quoted, "those who:neglect Round bales How much hay do yotylo§e in a year? If you are using big round, bales, read on. Big round bales have really caught on in Huron County. There seems to be many methods used to store these bales, but some methods really are better than others. Sou the Dakota State Uni- versity did some research on storing big round bales.

He explained that, farmers will find that in, their budgets over the next three or four years, they will be paying the same increases for energy for personal use that all other Canadians are. Because they live most often beyond the range of more cheaply priced natrual gass lines, he added, farmers are at a disadvant- ,age. Mr.. Cardiff also attacked Mr. Whelan for being unable to come up with extra money through the Farm Credit Corporation. The Huron- Bruce member reminded the minister that he had attacked the Conservative govern- ment last` year for the very same reason. TAX CREDIT he noted that the Crosbie budget had provided, ,'a 'tax credit for energy 'Which would help cushion the im pact of increases on consum- ers. That might have a- mounted to $220, Mr. Cardiff What's the found the best way was to store them end-to-end with the ends touching and with about 18 inches between rows. Dry matter losses were only 0.8% this way. Bales stored in a pyramid stack used less space, but had dry matter losses of 10.3%. These bales held too • much moisture at the points of contact between the rows, This caused deterioratior and rotting of the hay. To store bales in a pyramid stack, you should cover the stack with 4 or 6 mil. plastic held down with tires and ropes. Bales placed in rows with 18" space on all sides (not touching at the ends) had losses of 4%. This system also requires the most space. Bales should be stored on a well-drained site. Research is being done now in Ontario on this same problem. The results should be available next year. Ron Fleming, Agricultural Engineer. explained, for low or middle income earner in his riding. There is no tax credit in the Liberal budget for energy, increases. Later in his address, Mr. Cardiff charged 'that the Prime Minister, through this. budget, had broken another election :promise; that oil would rise less than $4 a barrel this year. He noted the , wellhead price was first raised by $3 earlier this year, It was followed by a further 75 cent hike in July, at the refinery, and an additional 80 cents a barrel through the budget. That, he compUted, brought the total increase this, year to $4,55 a barrel, beyond what the Liberals had promised during the elect- ion. Mr. Cardiff concluded his address by again stressing that through the budget and energy. provisions the gov- ernment had broken promis- es. • "It is a sad reminder," he. ended, "of the many limes in the past. when Canadian& have been deceiv- ed by this government, which seeks power at , all costs; through mantipulation of public opinion, • and now through an undermining of Canada's provinces which now stand out against this. Emil of MaMpulation." The. Huron-Bruce MP was followed in the CoMmons by Brian Talbot, Liberal MP for .Humber-Port au. Port-St. Barbe. "Mr. Speaker," he said," "on passing note, before I start/ I wonder if the Hon. member for Huron- Bruce (Mr. Cardiff) has explained • to his farmers about, whom he spoke so eloquently during the last few minutes, that a farmer using 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel a year over a four-year period would pay over $8000 more for that diesel fuel under the Crosbie budget than he is going to pay under our budget. I wonder if he told his farrners that."
