established onthe credit river in the oarly uooa eridan pa rk a h asset mf snowspwattiesher- ldap park research centre and its fleet opthe industries in halton eajrt backed by the ontario government the centre- jl is devoted to industrial research anil development h was founded in 1964 the industrial plants in my riding and employment have al most doubled since the year i960 however great the rate of change has been there seems little doubt that the opening of the sheridan park research community in 1964 has had and will have an even greater econo mical and social impact mr snow explained situated in the community are nine companies with the ont ario research foundation as its misjeu and including dunlop rubber amtibi paper brtttsk american oil hundred scientists technicians andsupportingper- sonnel are presently working at the park by 1970 it is erd ti ed that there will be one hundred million dollars worth of build ings with a total of sin thousand employees on staff researching and developing for the benefit of ontario industries during 1966 23 new manufac turing establishments located in this area and 27 existing plants proceeded with expansion pro grams mr snow noted from this mr snow drew the conclusion ou industrial com munity is most vigorous and healthy and providing virtual tot al employment in our area go to go northward mr snow termed the itmova- hon of go transit as one of the greatest assets since con- federation to lakeshore commun ities of our metro area this modern commuter ser vice has had a valuable impact and effect in my riding approx imately one of every three work ers in halton county travel to the metro area to work the existing service is being used to capacity and must be expanded he explained mr snow told the legislature an expansion of the existing lli to serve milton cooksvllle and streetsville via the cpr and through malton bramalea brampton georgetown and act on would have the same success and acceptance as the lakeshore route and would allow these areas to develop as planned satellite cities as has beon suggestod by so many planners agricultural concerns mr snow expressed concern for the agricultural community in his riding eighty five per cent of the land in the riding la devoted to agricultural pursuits mr snow said his concern about the status of agriculture was not confined to his ring or ontario bu for canada as a whole it is my confirmed opinion that the farmers of our country are not sharing in the improving standards of living to the same extent as other sectors of our community he stated by way of example ho pointed out a farmer in 1946 who could sell 600 bushels of ontario win ter wheat at approximately 215 per bushel and with the receipts from the sale buy a threeplow tractor today ho must sell 2500 bushels of the same wheat to buy the same tractor mr snow went farther and estimated they lose two to three cents a doien on every egg pro duced in the last four years the egg producer has had two years in which he no doubt showed a loss one year a minor profit and one year when a reasonable profit was possible mr snow expressed concern about the eventual use of land being farmed now on a rental basis i contend the larger and maor portion of the increase in the net worth of farmers cli year is derived by the increased value of his real estate and that a very small portion is brought about by profits from his labors and capital investments in stock and equipment 1 submit that tin time haa come when the farmer cannot maintain his profitability any longer by enlarging his units of opermlon and improving his ef ficiency we must come up with an improved agricultural policy for canada and i empha sise canada our honorable minister of agriculture and his department have implemented many programs for the benefit of ontario farmers i submit however one province aloiv in this great country cannot com pletely correct the problems of its farmers mr snow crltlcliodtho feder al government for wlthirawlng important programs those spe cified were 1 the reduction of the premiums for grade a hogs from w to 2 2 the reduction of premiums for choice lamts
