western Ontario and hun-
dreds of farmers and other
ratepayers.
Members of the Foodland
Hydro Committee and some
60 delegates and alternates

week to discuss reorganiza-
tion and reactivation of the
committee. Nominations and
elections were held and a

CFFO opposes plan
to drop cap. gains tax
The Conservative election
promise made during last
year's federal election to
eliminate the capital gains
tax on farm land targets the
wrong people and will have
unacceptable effects in both
the short and long term,
according to the- Christian
Farmers' Federation of
Ontario.
The CFFO provincial
board has adopted a formal
policy statement calling for
the retention of the capital
gains tax on farm land. It
says the tax should stay both
for the sake of agriculture
and in the interest of fairness
in public policy. ,
"Farm policy should not
help those going out of
business at the expense of
beginning and struggling
entrepreneurs," the
statement says. "The
elimination of the tax is not
designed to help farm entre-
preneurs deal with the risk of
agricultural production or
marketing."
It says that beginning
farmers would be seriously
disadvantaged by the
proposal since they would
have . to compete for land
with investors seeking a tax-
free capital gain by holding
farm land.
The federation is opposed
to encouraging investors to
purchase farms, since more
investor ownership of
foodland will force more
farmers to lease, it explains,
It fears this will lead to
degradation of the foodland,
since Ontario does not have a
tradition of long-term leases.
According to the CFFO,
existing policies allowing
family 'farmers to defer
capital gains taxes on farm
land when it is sold within-
the
ithinthe family and allowing a
roll-over of $120,000 of
capital gains into an RRSP
provide enough of a tax
shelter. -
