, By MPP Jack Riddell
In a move to protect farmers and
the environment, my colleague On-
tario Environment Minister Jim
Bradley and I, as Minister of
Agriculture and Food, plan to in-
troduce a five-year pesticide educa-
tion program.
The $692,000 program is aimed at
improved care and handling of
pesticides used in agricultural
production.
The first part of the program, to
begin early next year, is an education
program for vendors of agricultural
pesticides at the wholesale and retail
level.
With this announcement we have
the structure to develop education
programs for the future. The govern-
ment wants to ensure that those who
handle the chemicals on a regular
basis can do so with confidence and
/safety. We are also concerned that the
products will be used in the manner
intended without posing any undue
risks- to the individual or the
environment. s.
Defends rights
Ontario was the only province at the
First Ministers' Conference to take a
tough stand to protect Canadian
natural resources.. Premier David
Peterson said the federal government
and the other provinces are setting a
dangerous precedent by trying to
strike a deal on U.S. softwood lumber
tariffs instead of fighting the protec-
Educate
tionist U.S. action through the courts.
Premier Peterson said the suppos-
ed deal with the U.S. as an attempt to
pacify the Americans is likely to
backfire. If we let the Americans dic-
tate our policy on softwood lumber,
we leave ourselves open to the same
kind of tactic on minerals, hydro, and
possibly oil and gas.
"What's at stake in the softwood
lumber issue," said Premier Peter-
son, "is nothing less than whether
Canadian resource policies should be
dictated by U.S. interests, or decided
by the Canadian people."
Genealogical grant
The Huron County Genealogical
Society has just been given a $2,000
grant from Citizenship and Culture to
assist in publishing a history book of
the genealogy of Goderich Township
families. The announcement was
made by my colleague, the
Honourable Lily Munroe. •
Order of Ontario
As announced in the Speech from
the Throne last April, a new award
known as the Order of bntario has
been established for the purpose of
recognizing excellence and achieve-
ment of the highest degree in com-
munity leadership, volunteer service,
business, industry and labour, the
professions and other occupations,
research, culture, the arts and other
fields of endeavour.
You undoubedly have seen notices
in newspapers about this award, and
I would urge any person or organiza-
tion who wishes to nominate a resi-
dent of the province of Ontario to con-
tact my riding office for further infor-
mation and for nomination forms.
Health review panel
On October' 24, Premier Peterson
announced the formation of the On-
tario Health Review Panel, the first
phase of which has begun and which
will' be an overview to identify key
issues in health care, set priorities
and recommend a process for
developing solutions. Terms of
reference include:

The Soviet Red Army is rampaging
through Afghanistan, killing and
maiming children and driving
inillions of innocents out of their
country.
The Soviet air force is flying lon
range bombers, armed with ail
launched, nuclear cruise missiles, 125
miles off Canada's coast.
Meanwhile, the Liberal Party of
Canada has passed resolutions to ban
the testing of US unarmed- air -
launched cruise missiles in Canada
and declaring our country a "nuclear
weapons free zone". (This, incidental-
ly, would force Canada to withdraw
from NATO and desert our traditional
allies if it were ever adopted as
policy.
it's a pity the Afghans didn't think
of declaring their country a "Soviet
Red Army -free zone".
What can one say about the
Liberals' - and the NDP's - foreign
and defence policies?
Those whom gods would destroy,
they first make mad.

Seek views on farina
After consultations with the farm
community, Agriculture Minister
John Wise has -released a document
seeking the views of farm families on
the social and economic issues affec-
ting the future of the family farm.
In releasing the document -- called
Agenda for Discussion -- Wise said
that more than 300 farm families,
farm organizations and others were
approached for their views during the
past year. The process ensures the
agenda reflects the real concerns and
priorities of the farming community
The agenda marks phase one of
Family Farm Focus, an initiative
outlined June 4, 1986.
"While the discussions we had with
the farm community took time, the
result is a document that will survey
the broad range.of issues farmers
themselves have idegtified," the
Minister said.
Family Farm Forum grew out of
discussions Mr. Wise had a year ago
at the second National Farm
Women's Conference in Charlot-
tetown. Delegates stressed the need
for more effective partnerships bet-
ween government and the farming
community.
"From our discussions so far,
general agreement has been reached
that Family Farm Forum has to take
into consideration the financial crisis
facing many farm families today.
Farm women's organizations told us
that rising debt, interest rates and
fluctuations in commodity prices are
central 'social' issues."

Wise said there is also a growing
awareness in the farm community of
"human" issues -- child care, family
law, stress, workload and isolation --
affecting family farm life.
"The whole purpose behind Fami-
ly Farm Forum is to begin develop-
ing long-term strategies to ensure the
continued viability of the family farm
and the quality of family life while
responding to changes taking place in
agriculture."
