"Our rural youth won't be able to
afford to go out," he said. "They will
be living with their parents and won't
be able to leave the farm."
Fisher said young people also
need fresh air to breathe. Smog is a
problem in cities, she said. "Rural
Ontario is not where the program is
starting. It's going to take a numbcr
of years to get here if it ever gets.to
us.
Fisher said she visited Atlanta to
see a similar testing program in
operation and the average repair bill
for vehicles that failed the emission
requirements was $235.
"I think it's a step in the right
direction," she said, saying it will
clean up the air and also mean cars
will make more efficient use of fuel.
When Ovid Jackson, MP for
Bruce -Grey and a licenced mechanic,
tried to explain the problem of cars
producing pollutants, he incurred the
wrath of Rodgers when he said new
cars would eliminate the problem.
"How can my kids drive a new car
at $6.85 per hour?" he angrily asked
Jackson.
The complaint struck a chord with
Jayne Dietrich of Mildmay who
earlier in the evening received the
Tommy Cooper Award.
"What are we doing for our young
people?" she wondered. Farm
families find it nearly impossible to
get student loans for their children
because of the property they own, she
said. The kids then have to work to
try to make enough money for the
increased tuition at universities but
teachers in high school make no
allowances for the the extra work
they do and expect them to have
schoolwork done as if they didn't
have a job.
Calder also reported on trade
issues pointing out the entire
agriculture committee recently went
to Washington to meet with U.S.
officials over trade. "We wanted to
make them aware we are their second
best customer (for agricultural
products)." The Americans were
surprised to learn the average
Canadian consumes $216 worth of
U.S. food while the average
American uses $31 of Canadian food
a year, he said.0
