Farmers spent $1.7 billion billion buying machinery in 1985 alone, Mr. Lawrence said, to illustrate the magnitude magnitude of Canada's farm community. And in a speech to the Bowmanville Lions Club, he discussed the ways in which the federal government government is helping this key Canadian industry. The MP was addressing the Bowmanville Lions' annual annual Rural Night meeting in the absence of Federal Agriculture Agriculture Minister John Wise. Mr. Wise had been scheduled to address the club but was unable to attend. attend. Allan Lawrence presented presented the latest agricultural agricultural facts to the Lions Club with the assistance of notes for the Agriculture Minister's Minister's speech. Federal programs for agriculture agriculture outlined by Mr. Lawrence ranged from the $1 billion special Canadian grains program to a system which re-trains farmers who have decided that they are no longer able to farm. The $1 billion Special Canadian Grains Program is designed to help farmers hurt by the subsidy war between between the United States and the European Economic Community. "It isn't a cure-all but it will go a long way toward improving improving grain farmers' cash flow," said Mr. Lawrence. The payments from this scheme will cushion the impact impact of the subsidy war by assisting producers of wheat, barley, oats, rye, mixed grains, corn, soybeans, soybeans, canola, flax, and sunflower seeds. The first half of the payment payment will occur this winter, while the second installment installment will come in the spring. Farm Debt Review Boards are another federal initiative described by Mr. Lawrence. He explained that they are empowered to halt all actions by creditors against farmers in financial difficulty for up to 120 days. Currently there are 176 cases of insolvency and 63 cases of financial difficulty before the Farm Debt Review Review Board in Ontario.'One hundred review , panels have been established across Canada. "The government wants farmers to keep farming whenever it is economically feasible to do so. However, the reality is that not all farming operations can be saved by the Farm Debt Review Review Process," Mr. Lawrence Lawrence added. He then described the Canadian Rural Transition Program which helps farmers farmers who must cease farming to find other employment. The MP was quick to add that this initiative is in no way intended to encourage Canada's farm community to quit their livelihoods. "It's to assist those who have already hit the dark door as far as farming is concerned," he added. " This program provides training, counselling, business business creation assistance, wage subsidies, living allowances allowances and (if necessarÿ) relocation assistance. "In the past, farmers have not had the same access to job retraining and other employment services as most other Canadian workers," workers," the guest speaker said. As of mid-December, this program had resulted in approval approval of about 100 applications. applications. Each applicant receives receives an average benefit of between $4,000 and $5,000. Assistance to tobacco farmers who face a predicted predicted 30 per cent reduction in their numbers, was also noted by Mr. Lawrence. They'll be helped towards the growing of alternate crops. And he announced that the federal government will continue to operate the Commonwealth, Caribbealn and Mexican Seasonal Agricultural Agricultural Workers Programs Programs in 1987. This will be especially useful for industries industries such as apple-growing and tobacco production which rely heavily on offshore employees. The speech also touched on Canada's national agriculture agriculture strategy; the re- • moval of federal sales and excise tax on farm fuels through a rebate program; a $1.5 billion long-term dairy policy; and a $35 million million livestock feed initiative initiative for the Atlantic provinces. provinces. Lions Club members were reminded that the government government subsidies to agriculture agriculture total about 14 per cent of all farm cash receipts receipts last year. And the level of support is expected to remain high in 1987. "Agriculture is and will continue to be a high priority priority for the federal government," government," Mr. Lawrence said. A march on City Hall shouldn't be the only time you get out for a walk. V pamiciPBCTian r/0/7Mn BUSINESS DIRECTORY ACCOUNTANCY WILLIAM C. HALL B.Comm.
