Sponsored.by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA), the Conference is scheduled for downtown Toronto's Sheraton Centre Hotel, February 17 and 18. A major question facing the real estate brokers and sales people is that of the economy. Which way is it headed? To help answer that and other questions, broadcaster Brian Costello and three economic specialists specialists will kick off the Conference Conference with an interview/ analysis format production. Dr. Carl Beigie, former head of the C.D. Howe Institute Institute and currently Vice President and Chief Economist for Dominion Securities Pitfield, Sam Hughes, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Commerce, and Norman Godfrey, Godfrey, President of the Toronto Toronto Home Builders Association, Association, will join Costello in this blue-ribbon panel.

Among other speakers scheduled for the conference conference , are author/ psychologist Richard Flint, sales specialist Hank Trisler, and motivational expert Alan Jacobson. A highlight of the Conference Conference will be the election and installation of a new President for the 30,000- member Association. In keeping with recent OREA history, the new President will be available for interviews interviews and will hold a news conference on Monday, February 18 at 10 a.m. At that time, he is expected to release a study on rent controls controls which is OREA's response response to the recently completed completed Phase One report of the Thom Commission. For most of the two-day programme, delegates will participate in workshops and seminars designed to aid them in their business life and capitalize on that restrained enthusiasm. OREA is a professional association headquartered in Toronto. It's nearly 30,000 members are, scattered in 48 local real estate boards representing major municipalities municipalities as well as smaller towns and villages across Ontario. Rs major thrusts include government relations relations and licensing and continuing continuing education for its members. OREA is the government government nominee to provide provide pre-licensing courses for real estate sales people at community colleges across Ontario. Ontario's Farmers Head for Ottawa Farmers took off their overalls overalls and put on their business suits January 31st as members members of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) travelled travelled to Parliament Hill.to discuss discuss agricultural policy with members of parliament (MPs). The visit by over 170 farmers, representing most of Ontario's regions and counties, counties, was designed to give the new government a grassroots report on its first five months in office. The report, said OFA president Harry Pelissero, is generally favourable. "Last summer Prime Minister Mulroney made 11 promises to the OFA. So far, the government has acted on more than half of them. Most of the rest are under active discussion," he said. The OFA is particularly pleased with the decision to allow farmers to refinance the Farm Credit Corporation's lending rates to 12% percent. The pilot project of the Farm Financial Distress Review Boards in Grey and Bruce counties also has the OFA's full support. The boards are a co-operative effort among farm organizations, government government and financial institutions. institutions. Pelissero said the farmers were in Ottawa "to communicate, communicate, consult, compliment and criticize" the government. He said that in their discussion with the MPs, the farmers raised several concerns about policy changes which will affect agriculture adversely. One such change, Pelissero said, is a plan to charge farmers for the cost of grading beef, pork and lamb. "Grading benefits consumers consumers and is a public health service. Everyone should share that cost. It should not be borne by the producers," Pelissero said. The government's decision to terminate Canagrex, a federal agency established less than a year ago to enhance enhance the export of food and agricultural products, was also criticized. "Canagrex wasn't given a fighting chance. We should see what it can do before cutting off an agency that could help bring millions of dollars into the country." The federation hopes to make the Ottawa trip a yearly event. "We're committed to working with the government to see that those 11 promises become policy," Pelissero said. Here is a summary of some of the issues discussed: Canagrex The OFA and our national organization, the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, suggest these options rather than full termination. 1. Amend the legislation to remove the buy-sell option, if deemed necessary. 2. Change board members, if deemed necessary, 3. Allow the board members and senior staff to meet a parliamentary committee to discuss what has happened in Canagrex. 4. Keep the legislation on the books so it could be reinstated without parliamentary approval. 5. Transfer activities to another department. Employment Potential "Jobs, jobs, jobs," is what the Conservative government has promised Canadians. Agriculture is one sector that must not be overlooked in the quest to create new employment. employment. It has infinite potential to generate jobs across Canada, in a wide variety of areas from the field to the laboratory. It is commonly held that one in six jobs is associated with the agri-food section, whether it be a grocery store cashier, a worker in a farm implement factory, or a truck driver. The spin-off effects of a healthy primary agricultural sector are enormous. The agricultural agricultural sector should, therefore, be considered whenever new employment programs are being considered. U1C lli Changes in the Unemployment Unemployment Insurance Act with respect to the treatment of casual labour have caused great difficulties in the agricultural agricultural sector. UIC payments are now deductible after only 15 hours of work per week or gross earnings of $77. Previously, the levels were 25 days and $250 gross earnings. This has served to discourage discourage individuals from seeking temporary or seasonal employment in the agricultural agricultural sector and has thereby aggravated the already serious labour shortage. The additional paperwork associated associated with hiring several employees for short periods of time, e.g. at harvest, has proved to be a burden on many producers. The Charter of Rights will also have an impact impact on this area and on Canada Pension Plan deductions. deductions. A means must be found to deal with these issues as they relate to the agricultural sector. One solution suggested gives all employees earning less than a certain amount the option of whether or not to have UIC and CPP deductions withheld. Off-Shore Labour Program Off-shore labour, mainly from the Caribbean and Mexico, is currently being brought into the country. This labour is usod to assist producers producers in their farming operations, operations, especially during the labour intensive period of planting and harvesting, Obtaining an adequate supply of skilled labour lias proven to lie a perennial problem for producers. The off-shore labour program has served to alleviate pari of the problem, This program is greatly valued by the agricultural community and should be continued, continued, <« 3 Y* MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY MIDWAY ,; fVV 4* Hi r * Homo of the l : uul liconomy Car 'I MIDWAY MOTORSÎ Q 1300 Dundns SI.
