The Board of Directors of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association has endorsed the major recom- mendations of the Ontario Beef Marketing Tast Force Report which included the establishment of an Ontario Beef Industry Coun- cil and a producer referendum on " production and supply management program. The Ontario Beef Marketing Task Force was established in February by the Hon. Jack Rid- dell to address the broad range of marketing issues in light of the controversy on industry structure. Bob Gregson, president of the Ontario Cattlemen's Association stated "Our Board of Directors will support the establishment of an Ontario Beef Industry Council. The Tast Force recommends that the Council act only in an ad- visory capacity and our Board will support such a structure. With regard to the referendum, if the Minister wishes to proceed, we are willing to co-operate in the development of the terms for the referendum and the education The War Amputations of Canada Your donations support the CHAMP and PLAYSAFE Programs boas " 5-3 8 PASSPORT PHOTOS Ready in 5 Minutes PHIL WALMSLEY PHOTOGRAPHY -- NEW ADDRESS -- 117 Perry St., Port Perry 985-0744 Community Consciousness A Progressive Approach aaa Positive Action Honesty and Integrity Accessibility Responsiveness Proven leadership Ne: \ YR Te TR I: TN 966-4303 MAYOR Ontario Cattlemen like beef marketing report program for producers. However, the exercise may be academic because the Hon. Jack Riddell has clearly stated that the province of Ontario will not finance a guaranteed cost of production for beef producers nor can he build a wall around Ontario." The Ministry and the Ontario Cattlemen's Association have strongly supported the concept of tripartite stablization which is designed to provide industry sup- port at a non-incentive level. Said Gregson, "Supply management can only be implemented on a na- tional scale. It seems ques- tionable that other provinces would accept the concept of supp- ly management. However, we are willing to co-operate if it is felt that a referendum on a provincial supply management program will resolve a fundamental policy conflict within the industry." The Task Force Report con- tains 56 recommendations, cover- ing many aspects of beef cattle production, marketing, process- ing and merchandising. Gregson continued - "Most of the recom- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 25, 1988 -- 21 mendations are an endorsement of ongoing research and market related functions with enhance- ment or improvements being pro- posed. We interpret that as a positive endorsement of the general direction the industry has been taking as expressed through the Ontario Cattlemen's Association." Many of the recommendations are proposing more research, education, regulation and inspec- tion. All of these cost money and the current direction in the WILBUR -- BALL Ministry is for cost recovery in many of these programs. Gregson said "Any activities which re- quire increased financial commit- ment by either the Ministry or our Association will have to be scrutinized carefully and we are already acutely aware that the Ministry is cutting back in it's operating expenditure." The Board of Directors express- ed concern that the Task Force report had not been addressed regional programs that adversley affect the competitive position of Wedding vows were exchanged August 20th, 1988 by Carolyn Ball and Todd Wilbur at the Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church.
