The Meat Packers Council
of Canada says that gives
Burns and Fletcher's a
“eompetitive edge’ and the,

it will study ihe legality of
the deals.

Manitoba also has an-
nounced a sludy of the hog
marketing system in the
province. .

Frank Lepp of Manitou,
Man., chairman of the
Manitoba marketing board
and a large hog producer
himeelf, said, “In our view
there is no legal prablem in
the contracts.

“Burns has taken a big
step and is going to be get-
ting a larger share of the
market, They have made a

- move towards much greater

relations with the producer,
Something that has been
lacking in the Industry.” ©

Lepp said the contracts
also’ “will create com-
_ petition. The others (packing
, Plants) want to share the
market, not compete for it.”
.Bradich said in an in-

tracts was taken becauwe

Business group claims
B.C. residents overtaxed

VANCOUVER (CP) — The

. president of the Independent

‘Businesspeople of British
Columbia says that every
man, woman and child in
B.C, is being evertaxed by
$70 to pay for the pravincial
government's $140.5 million
surplus.

Len Friesen said Sunday
the surplus, announced last
week by Finance Minister
Evan Wolfe, hurts the
economy of the province.

“When the personal in-
cume tax increases fram
$600 million to $900 million in

three years with no increase

in population, then surely the '
Leconomy - of

this province
must suffer,"’ he said.

“The economic policies of
the current government
have created a new high in
bankruptcies and business

‘failures, which the business

community of this province
must be made aware of.

“Tt is no wonder that $127
million in investments have
left B.C. in the pasl three
years.”

Terry Tanner, president of

the Downtown Business
Association, said the surplus
did: not seem excessive,
especially when considered
in relation to the size of the
provincial government's
budgel.

He agreed, however, with
Friesen’s contention that
mare money should be left in
the private sector. .

“] think that the privale
seclor is more productive,”
he said. ‘Hopefully they will
keep that in mind when
planning our taxes next
year.”
