The cheque presented to the school was from the money collected ai their spring dance in May. On October 3ist, 1974, was one of the rare occasions on which the House of Commons set aside the business of the day to provide for an emergency debate. The subject was the beef crisis. _By agreement, speeches were limited to 15 minutes and the Debate had to terminate at 12 midnight. . Well, il was a classic. We examined in great detail the problams in which the beef industry finds itself today, We looked al the causes, blamed everyone from the president of. tha United States to the unions, foadchain stores, processors and yes, the farmers them- selves. The Minister of Agriculture used his time to defend his government’s policies declaring that the farmers never had it so good. He offered no solution apart from his intention to launch an inquiry into the beef industry. As the hours and the Debate wore on I could not help bul to reflect how this emergency debate ever got lo the floor of the House of Commons any way, and furthermore, how it . was possible for the industry to . be in this position in the first place. It became increasingly dif- ficult for me (a reconcile sore of . tha statements my honourable colleagues con- (ributed, with the actual facts. The Minister, for instance, blamed a global oversupply of beef for the problem but, IF know thal a starving world has never placed a greater demand on the productive capacity of our farmers. . We did however nol respond lo cries of anguish of a hungry world, but rather to hundreds of telegrams and phone calls from cur conslituents who were shocked by the experience on television, in living color, of the slaughter and mass burial of 600 little calves: a protest demonstration by the beef in- dustry. _It was timely to have the debate, The Minister of Ex- ternal Affairs and the Minister of Agriculture’ departed the following day to take part in a World Food Conference in Rome, — Tt appears that the global community is al last taking a serious look at what ean he done to overcome serious shortages of, protein throughout most of the world. There is an over demand for food but, people who need ‘il most, including a very significant number of Canadian, can nol afford the price. I suppose one could make a comparison between the present crisis in the beef in- dustry and the energy crisis - {here was not shortage of oil once we decided to pay the price but, it is irresponsible at the same time to make that com- parison since nat too many people were In mortal danger as a result of the oil shorlage, whereas the food shertage elaims hundreds of thousands of haman lives every year who die of diseases caused by malnutrition and hunger. The Ministers representing Canada in Rome will he looked at as Arab Sheiks, people who have an overabundance of food, who have been known to destroy food, to limit production in order Lo stabilize the price and to allow their citizens to waste as much food as they them- selves consume. . The Ministers, did not Inform us what contribution the Canadian delegation would make to the World Food Con- .. ference but, surely the message What has to be overcome, of course, if the high price of food, m+ FIGHT THE + must be clear. We must take the lead in establishing a World Food Bank the inventory af which must be the basis of our future foreign aid policy. Wa must recognize that all sepments of our sociely must bear the burden and share the wfrom the official opposition-Oberle the farmer. and that our Government is justified to support and if necessary, subsidize the farming industry. We must nol only stabilize the industry but, drastically expand ils productive capacily. I am sure thal the beef in- dustry has made its paint. We cannot afford to shock our citizens by such demonstrations again and al least the cattle ranchers in Quebec have joined the elite group now - the group to which- our federal govern- ment seems to respond such as unions, big corporations, In- dians who demonstrate with guns and so on. Let us hope that the Minister's inquiry inio the callie industry will not have the usual result, namely that the burden of respansibility will be shifled to that ever diminishing segment of our citizenry unable to shock the government into action, the peaple an fixed in- comes, our Senior citizens and the middle income earner who has, traditionally, paid the bill. The solution lo this problem will take strong government action - the type of action for which the present Government has a mandate from the Canadian people - let us watch closely how thal mandate is carried out. president (left) and Ren Vaselenak, treasurer, The cheque was presented to Miles _Clay (right) by Ian Smith, vice- _ ‘\ entrance fee and five dollars a _, year (hereafter.
