"Our programs are large- ly self -supported and if it weren't for the community interest and volunteer in- volvremdnt, they wouldn't be - and as,a result would cost the taxpayer of this township substantially more than they do," Mr. Ball said.

Haley. 8 N. Stratford 393-5938 $300 million less than an- ticipated, so this program and others had to be shelved. The minister assured the more than 200 farmers at the meeting that he would not be party to including the program in the throne speech a second time if he did not already have the assurance of the premier and treasurer that it would proceed. During the question period, Jim Boak, an Ash- field Township farmer, asked whether the program would permit his two sons, who have lost their farm, to start farming again. "The cows are gone, the quota is gone, and so is the farm," he said. "Your government is now propos- ing a program for young farmers. Will my boys have a chance to start over again?" "We haven't finalized the qualification criteria for the program, so I'm not in a position to tell you tonight," Mr. Timbrell replied. "I cannot promise you tonight that the program will cover your sons....Whatever we introduce, there are going to be people who will not qualify." The minister expressed dismay at what. he called the' virtual abandonment of farmers in the federal budget, saying he had ex- pected more funds for the Farm Credit Corporation and incentives for investors to put their money into agri- bonds. Mr. Timbrell also predicted the upcoming Ontario budget will be very tight. Remarks by Ontario Treasurer Frank Miller following the federal budget indicated he expected the federal budget to cost the province another $100 million in lost revenue, in addition to several hundred million in lost transfer payments. The province is sitting with a deficit of $2.5 billion and cannot allow it to go much higher without endangering its triple-A credit rating, he commented.
