1 ' ,was extemely
disa00.ointe.d at the
Govetoment's action to
decent my bill, An Act to
amend. The Farm
Products Marketing Bill,
on second reading.
Twenty Conservative
Members stood up,
blocking the bill, thus
preventing a vote being
taken.
The purpose of Bill 23,
An Act to amend The
Farm Products
Marketing Act, was to
prohibit unfair trade
practices for farm
products in Ontario. Suet'
practices include the
arranger en:t of price
advantages in the form of
rebates, discounts or
allowances between some
buyers and sellers of the
same product.
Evidence uncovered by
the Royal Commission on
Discounts and
Allowances in the Food
Industry in Ontario, has
shown that these unfair
practices do in fact exist.
Such practices distort
marketing conditions,
cause hardship for many
buyers and sellers and
ultimately severely
damage necessary and
healthy competition. The

Judicial Inquiry has
plenty evidence oa,reeOrti
to draw these con-
clusions. I feel what is
required now is gover-
nment action.
We in the Liberal Party
want '-to see more fair
competition in the food
market place to ensure
maximum protection for
Ontario consumers and
producers. My bill would
have ' eliminated un-
justified rebates and
allowances.
I was also very
disappointed that the
minister _of agriculture
and food and the minister
of consumer and com-
mercial relations did not
see fit to be present in the
House during the debate
of the bill. When my
colleagues and I pursued
this matter in the
Legislature in the spring
of 1978 and obtained a
preliminary inquiry
through a Committee of
the Legislature, the
Government then felt the
matter did - not need
inquiring into. The ab-
scence of the Ministers
shows that they are still
not convinced that there
is a problem.
I can only hope that the
findings and report of the
Royal Commission which
is scheduled for release in
mid -summer or fall will
contain the answers so
urgently required and
will force the government
to take action. We in the
Liberal Party are con-
cerned that the super-
market purchasing
policies are reducing the
number of food retailers,
and food product sup-
pliers in Ontario resulting
in a concentration of
•power in just a few hands.
The Government has
introduced a bill which
provides for mandatory
union dues checkoff while
allowing employers to
call a supervised vote on
the last contract offer
before or after the
beginning of a strike.
Under the legislation,
all employees in a
bargaining unit, in-
cluding non-union
members, would be
entitled to participate in
all ratification or strike
votes. The compulsory
dues check -off issue has
led to a number of strikes
In Ontario in connection
with, first collective
ageeements, including
the current strike by the
"United Auto Workers.
