The Goderich Signal-Star, 1980-06-11, Page 24rST 8D# LJ1.. E11,198l By Jack. Riddell MPP 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.

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.
