FEEDBACK
ON THE GRENVILLE
RESOLUTION AND THE
OFA/CFFO CHECK -OFF
Occasionally, your columnist,
Adrian Vos, astounds me. He has
long been involved in farm organiza-
tions and knows they suffer from
chronic underfunding. He also knows
they are among the most democratic
organizations in our society. But in
the August issue he condemns the idea
of the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture and the Christian Farmers
Federation of Ontario being funded
through a compulsory check -off (the
OFA and CFFO are asking for a
refundable check -off). He objects
because the OFA has gone to the
commodity boards (which are funded
by compulsory check -offs) to discuss
a resolution, passed by a completely
democratic convention, asking for a
vote on whether or not various com-
modity groups desire supply manage-
ment. Is he asking the OFA to sup-
press democracy, or Jack Riddell to
remove the commodity groups' check-
off'? I for one cannot support either
idea.
I'm afraid you've got it backwards,
Adrian. You should be supporting all
farm groups in their attempts to get
adequate funding to make them more
effective, and you should be in favour
of healthy debate on any issue that
affects the farm community. Until
now, I believed you supported both
concepts.
