(Jason Ainslie phitto ) Senator meets wit BY • JACK IHDDFJ M.P.P. Senator Hazen Argue met with the Liberal Caucus last week and discussed matters of an agricultural nature, in- cluding the compensation to farmers for losses resulting from the. 1980 partial em- bargo en grain sales to the USSR,. In support of the US par- tial embargo, Canada, agreed not to sell. more than 3.8 million tonnes of wheat and other grain to the USSR in 'the 1979-1980 crop year: That promise was kept, Senator Argue said, and the Governinent decided last Ju- ly, not to limit grain exports in this crop year which helped strengthen grain prices. The United States lifted its partial grain' em- bargo on April 24, 1981 and the Canadian Government has now calculated . the --amount of producer losses for which compensation will be paid. Compensation will be paid on wheat, oats, barley and corn, covering the period' from January 4 to July 31, 1980. Ontario winter wheat pro- ducers will be paid directly using delivery records of the Ontario Wheat Producers Marketing Board. However, corn growers and others not covered by • these direct payments will be required to .x.... ,ox 'q- — , 4, - ' A,7" -I' [ = si , y.., 1, - •-- ",,,,,,, ,7-,.., t ....„.., , t, %.....,—, z,„:„,:x. 4-• 5i;:rr,e4 The New Hamburg Band performed in the' Canada Day Parade on Sunday afternoon and again on Sunday evening on the courthouse platform.

Electrical power • transmission expansiorr, OntarioHydro has been studying alterative plans for expanding the bulk power transmission system for Southwestern Ontario. From the fall of 1976 through to the summer of 1977, Citizen committees in Southwestern Ontario, met and discussed environmen- tal constraints to the location of future bulk power transmission faCilities' in Southwestern Ontario. In 1977 the Committees concur- red that Ontario Hydro should proceed to .develop electrical system plans that would be suitable for Southwestern Ontario. In the meantime the Royal Commission on electric power planning held 'hear- ings on the need for addi- tional power facilities in J._ 2, ' r Li eral Caucus Southwestern Ontario. Public involvement on this study was -postponed .until the Commission had submit- ted its report. The final report was subMitted in February, 1980. On the basis of the Com- mission's findings the Goverranent has requested Ontario Hydro -to. proceed with the next. stag$ of the planning and app -: pro- cess. Ontario Hydro prepared a document which describes six system plans and it will conduct public discussion of the alter- natives. The plans will be distributed• widely throughout' Southwestern Ontario and will provide an opportunity for the public to respond prior to Ontario Hydro subrnitting an en- vironmental assessment document for review under . the Environmental Assess- ment Act. Ontario Hydro will be con- ducting an extensive public participation program throughout Southwestern Ontario to ensure that the citizens are aware of the pro- posals and have .oppor- tunities to become involved in the study of the alter- natives. The proposed schedule includes about three years for planning and public involvement running parallel with about two years of government review and public hearings. It will likely take an addi- tional four years for land ac- quisition and construction of the transmission line once one- of the alternatives has H.S.
