Kennedy Superintendent of Schools If Ontario is to broaden its tax base, the provincial government must first create a business environment under which farmers and other small business can thrive and create new wealth and jobs. That was the message message the Ontario Federation of Agriculture Agriculture (OFA) presented to the Ontario Ontario Legislature's Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs February 1. Pointing out to the committee that farmers' spending on repairs has almost almost caught up with their investment in new machinery and buildings. OFA President Roger said "this is an ominous trend. If farmers are to be competitive, we need to modernize our plant and equipment, just like any other industry." To help accomplish this, the OFA called for the provincial government to introduce an investment tax credit on eligible farm machinery, equipment equipment and building materials. "A similar similar federal program introduced in 1992 was responsible for a 15 percent percent increase in the sale of new equipment," said Mr. George. "A provincial program would not only be good for farmers, but for the economy economy as a whole." Addressing the issue of rural economic economic development, Mr. George cited cited fuel ethanol production as an example example of a value-added, environmentally friendly, fledgling industry. "We have an opportunity to turn com into fuel, reduce emissions from carbon based fuels and create investment opportunities and jobs for rural people," said Mr. George. "However, we need a commitment from the government for long term preferential tax treatment of ethanol blended gasolines as an incentive to the development of a fuel alcohol in- . dustry." The OFA presentation to the committee committee also commented on the recommendations recommendations of the Fair Tax Commission. Commission. The OFA will be meeting with the Finance Minister on February 16 to discuss this issue indepth.
