[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1218401, member: 1682"] Yes, hypothetically (because it would have to be lobbied for and approved/funded by an otherwise bankrupt provincial government) the taxpayers would be footing the bill for fencing. Even in the BSE days, I would not have supported such ideas. Using taxpayers to further their own personal production and ultimately, finances, is just disgusting. Here's the actual resolutions: [b] 14-11 FENCING ASSISTANCE Frontenac Moved by: Dave Perry Seconded by: Orie Cumpson WHEREAS, BFO and the Ontario Beef Industry stakeholders realize that there is a shortage of beef animals in Ontario, and WHEREAS, those involved in the Beef Industry realize that to maintain the current infrastructure we need to increase the cow/calf numbers, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT BFO lobby all levels of government to obtain funding that would enable producers to fence marginal land that would be suitable for pasturing Beef animals and thereby allowing producers to raise a larger number of beef animals. Sub-Resolution(s) Grenville Moved by: Kim Sytsma Seconded by: Kim Weedmark WHEREAS, expansion of the Ontario beef herd is in part impeded by lack of fences in many areas of Ontario, and WHEREAS, there are already in place fencing grants under Growing Forward programs, but these programs do not include perimeter fencing as well as being insufficiently funded, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT BFO lobby the Ontario Government, the Federal Government as well as Growing Forward program administration to include perimeter fencing as well as increase the level of financial contributions. Stormont Moved by: Terry Brownwell Seconded by: Jamie Clark WHEREAS, Ontario is in need of an expanding beef industry, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT BFO develop a program to help with the costs of perimeter fencing. Lennox and Addington Moved by: Brian Windover Seconded by: Peter VanOrder WHEREAS, the Ontario beef herd has declined significantly in the last decade to levels that may not support industry infrastructure resulting in lost jobs. We need to stimulate the growth of the Ontario beef herd, and WHEREAS, there is a lot of idle land that can be brought back into production to support beef grazing and stimulate the re-growth of the Ontario beef herd, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT BFO lobby the appropriate government agencies to work towards the development of a program that will support and aid the significant financial investment required to bring marginal land back into production.
