We are pleased with your timely response to our needs and the emphasis r the new M.D. has placed on Agriculture. The administration of the Program Planning Extension Account presents some problems. As you may be aware, Alberta Agriculture employees are not r eligible as signing authorities for any monetary accounts. The procedure that has worked well in the past involved our office administering the account with the Agricultural Fieldman as the signing authority. Expendi r tures and revenues to this fund would be reported to the A.S.B. at regular meetings and through annual proposed budgets.
The cheque will be deposited to the appropriate account. If the current r procedures dealing with the administration of the account do not satisfy your audit requirements.please advise so alternate procedures can be r arranged. r Thank you for your prompt action in this regard.

J. D. Edworthy Executive Director JDE/ejr encl . r r MINISTER OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS r 229 Legislature Building, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada TSK 286 403/427-3744
r August 30, 1988 r Councillor Joe Smith President r Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties 4504 - 101 Street r Edmonton, Alberta T6E 5G9 r Dear Joe: I am pleased to forward the government's official replies to the f resolutions passed at the 1988 Spring Convention of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties. I trust the information provided will adequately respond to the r concerns of your member municipalities. r r With sincere regards, r r r r rI t r RESOLUTION NO. 1 M.D. of Wainwright No. 61 r Let•s Keep Alberta Rat Free
WHEREAS Alberta Agriculture has for many years financed a rate control r program in a buffer zone along the Saskatchewan border. the counties and municipal districts and special areas in this locale have co-operated with Alberta Agriculture in administering the said r program. with Alberta Agriculture providing reimbursement for wages and expenses incurred; and r WHEREAS in 1985, participating jurisdictions were required to sign a Rat Control Contract as a condition of receiving further grant funding. Under the contract, the local jurisdictions agreed to employ the rat control officer, however salaries paid are subject to classi r fication by Alberta Agriculture and maximums imposed by that department: and r WHEREAS an amending agreement proposed by Alberta Agriculture in 1986 imposes a maximum on their contribution toward the program and also relieves that department of any liability·of any nature whatsoever in r connection with the programs; and WHEREAS the conditions imposed, in some cases, make it necessary for f the local jurisdictions to subsidize the program in order to ensure that adequate protection is provided for the province as a whole; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Alberta Agriculture be r~quested to r finance the Rat Control Program and allow local jurisdictions involved to operate the program on behalf of Alberta Agriculture, in harmony r with policies in e~fect in their own jurisdictions. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE r Rat control is a co-operative program between Alberta Agriculture and the municipalities. Control is conducted by municipalities with funding by Alberta Agriculture. However, Alberta Agriculture•s r contribution is not solely to provide funds and materi~l for the program. Rat control is a provincial program that requires provincial .direction and co-ordination including fiscal management and r responsibility. The control program is administered under a contract between Alberta r Agriculture and each municipality. The Department of Treasury requires that every contract specify a maximum sum of money for that contract. In spite of. the fact that contracts specify a maximum expenditure, Alberta Agriculture has never failed to reifuburse r municipalities for expenditures in excess of the contract that could l be justi'fied for rat control. Clearly ho~ever, municipalities do not r require unlimited access to funds to carry out the program. t con•d t r r Resolution No. 1 con'd It is a principle of the civil service that employees should be paid a ~alary that reflects their duties and responsibilities. Alberta r Government central personnel division has determined that rat control inspectors have duties and responsibilities comparable to an Agricultural Officer II. Thus, contracts specify that mon1c1pal1ti~s r be reimbursed for salaries and benefits for rat control inspectors based on a salary schedule of the Agricultural Officer II. However, contracts also state that municipalities may pay rat .control inspectors in excess of the salary grid but the additional costs will r not be reimbursed by the province. If a municipality pays a salary in excess of the grid, then the additional costs are of its own choosing. Alberta Agriculture discourages the practice of paying r salaries in excess of the grid because it causes inequities in salary among rat control personnel who are performing the same duties but are r employed by different municipalities. Contracts state that "The municipality shall insure the Pest Control Inspector r under a contract of comprehensive general liability insurance in an.amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence. r Alberta Agriculture shall provide excess comprehensive general liability insurance for the rat and rabies control program to the extent any claim exceeds $2,000,000 per r occurrence." Thus, the resolution is incorrect in stating that r " ••• an amending agreement also relieves that department of any liability of any nature whatsoever in connection with the r programs ..... Rat control is an important program. However, fiscal restraint and an accountable approach to the expenditure of public funds is appropriate r and indeed demanded ·by the taxpayer. · A1 bert a Agri cu 1ture wi 11 continue to fund 1001. of the cos.t of the rat control program. However, this approach demands that Alberta r Agriculture continue to have a share in determining the program .. r policies.
rI..._ r ·t r r RESOLUTION NO. 2 County of Paintearth No. 18 Assessment of Oilfield Industrial r Equipment ·WHEREAS the assessment of oilfield industrial equipment has been r undertaken by provincial employees on contract to the municipality and operating from district and regional offices; and · r WHEREAS this method of assessment operation has proven to.be both economical and practical in terms of meeting the needs of the municipality in that oilfield industrial equipment may be reviewed at the time when other properties are being examined during annual r assessment periods; and. WHEREAS the province now proposes to conduct all such assessments from r a centralized location in lieu of regional or district offices; and WHEREAS it can be anticipated that local assessment operation costs r will escalate if municipalities receive a duplication of assessment reviews; and WHEREAS an ill-timed assessment of newly constructed oilfield facilities may result in the loss of taxation dollars by a municipality which is unable to include the new assessment on its roll r for the preceding year; NOH THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government be respectfully requested to carefully re-examine the viability of such r an initiative in consultation with the affected municipalities as represented by the Executive of the Alberta Association of Municipal r Districts and Counties. GQVERNMENT RESPONSE r The assessment procedure to have industrial assessors from Edmonton prepare the assessment of machinery and equipment in the Medicine Hat region was initiated by the Director of Assessment Operations in r 1987. The director's decision was aimed at improving efficiencies in .time of restraint. Because of personnel downsizing, certain regional offices are affected more than others. The Medicine Hat region and the Hanna district office presently have the highest ratio of r properties per assessor in the province. By using the industrial assessors in Edmonton to prepare industrial assessments, this removes .r the cost to transfer people to the Medicine Hat region. - The assessors in the Industrial Assessment Section in Edmonton do these types of assessment on a year round full time basis. They have :t developed efficiencies in performing these assessments that minimizes the amount of field travel with a high degree of accuracy. This staff also has direct access to energy and natural resources maps, cost it data, as well as a terminal hook-up to the extensive records of the Energy Resources Conservation Board and which are exceedingly helpful in the preparation of assessments. r con'd r· r Resolution No. 2 con'd The company tax agents that are responsible for these properties are r located in Calgary and Edmonton. Our industrial assessors work on a continual basis with these people. Nevertheless, the Assessment Services Division of Alberta Municipal r Affairs will review this method of preparing industrial assessments r with a view to accommodating the concerns of the rural municipalities. r r .r f ·r r r r r .r r Ir l r r r 10 RESOLUTION NO. 3 M.D. of Willow Creek No. 26 r Brushing of Rights-of-Hay r WHEREAS it costs the power companies of the province up to $5,000 per mile to brush the right-of-way on many thousands of miles of right-of way in this province on which regrowth can fully recover in just a few r short years; and WHEREAS all electrical users in the Province of Alberta contribute a considerable amount of money to the maintenance of power lines through r provincial pools; and WHEREAS, TransAlta Utilities is 2 years into a 6 year brushing program r after which only follow up spray control will be required and the possibility exists to merge all efforts to maintain. the rights-of-way through an initiative presently being promoted by ru~al electric r co-ops and the power companies; and WHEREAS the municipal districts and counties have an interest in assuring that all monies spent in the upkeep of rights-of-way are r spent in the highest and best use possible in order to avoid duplication of efforts, e.g. spraying, movement of heavy equipment and f organization of same; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties encourage various government departments, other utilities, improvement districts and other parties with a vested r interest, to join in this initiative and attempt to come to a mutually r beneficial agreement. GOVERNMENT RESPQNSE r Alberta Transportation and Utilities is in general agreement with this resolution and is actively support·ing the co-ordination of efforts with respect to the brushing of utility rights-of-way. The Rural Electric Branch is currently working closely with rural r electrification associations, Alberta Power Limited and TransAlta Utilities Corporation, to encourage them to co-ordinate their brushing r activities. The committee recently participated in a joint presentation to the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties and as a -r result, a member of the association has been appointed to the committee. The department looks forward to working with the committee to ensure that most cost-effective use of the funds available for r brushing activities. ·r. f r r
RESOLUTION NO. 4 M.D. of Willow Creek No. 26 r Fire Inspection of Properties in Towns r and Municipalities WHEREAS Alberta Labour. Fire Prevention Branch. has advised that they will no longer do inspections of properties in the towns and r municipalities; and · WHEREAS local fire departments do not have the training or qualified r personnel to carry out the fire inspection function; and WHEREAS local fire departments are made up of volunteers who have f.ull time occupations·. therefore they do not have the time personally r available to c~rry out this added work load; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Alberta Labour, Fire Prevention Branch r be requested to continue to provide assistance to local fire departments to carry out inspections as they have done in the past. r GOVERNMENT RESPONSE The routine fire safety inspections of buildings have been r eliminated. The Fire Prevention Branch will be doing monitoring or audit inspections in schools. nursing homes and high risk public buildings to determine changes to the general level of fire safety in r these buildings. They will also assist fire departments with particularly difficult ·inspections and will respond to requests for assistance in correcting problems with fire protection systems such as fire alarms, sprinkler systems, fixed fire extinguishment systems, etc. Fire prevention inspections by fire departments are not compulsory. It is up to each municipal council to establish r appropriate policies in this area. The Fire Prevention Branch will increase the number of and availability of fire prevention training courses and seminars and will r produce printed information which will make some technical matters easier to understand. Fire departments and municipal councils should feel free to call the Fire Prevention Branch at any time to discuss r their fire protection problems and they can be assured that they will r receive as much support as possible considering the current policy. r r t r t r RESOLUTION NO. 5 County of Strathcona No. 20 . r Use of Technology in Haste Disposal
WHEREAS municipalities in the Province of Alberta are experiencing r difficulty in securing land appropriate for long term disposal of solid waste; and r WHEREAS the use of landfills may not· be the most effective means of disposing of solid waste due to public, environmental .and political r reasons; and WHEREAS alternate technologies exist for the disposal of solid waste which are ~nvironmentally acceptable; r NOH THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Provincial Department of Environment be requested to take a lead role in developing and r promoting new technology for solid waste disposal in the province. r GOVERNMENT RESPONSE Alberta Environment has taken a lead role in developing and promoting new technology for solid waste management in the province. Specific f examples relate to the following:· Beverage Container Act - Beverage containers are removed from the r waste stream and recycled. Recycling Projects ~ The composting project in Ryley will demonstrate the applicability and utility r of composting organic materials in the waste stream and producing a compost (product> that has value as a soil r builder. Source separation or curbside project in Edmonton - residents remove glass, paper r and metal products from the waste stream for collection and pickup by Edmonton. r The recovered materials are recycled. Solid Haste Management - Conducted a project to evaluate pyrolysis as a method of solid wast~ management, the project failed. Further work on r pyrolysis has been recently pursued with Canmore. - r Regionalizing solid waste m~nagement in ) the province to reduce the number of dumps and improve waste management r practices. f con'd r r 13. r Resolution No. 5 con'd
Evaluating the use of incineration as a r method of solid waste volume reduction for municipal solid waste through the installation of incinerators at r Wainwright. From the preceeding, it can be seen that Alberta Environment has taken r and is taking a lead role in waste management and will continue to r support such sound initiatives. r r f_ r r r r r r . r r r r r r RESOLUTION NO. 6 County of Strathcona No. 20 Corporate Pooling
r WHEREAS the Minister of Education has proposed the concept of corporate pooling (equity financing) in Bill 59 which when passed by r the Alberta Legislature will amend the existing School Act; and WHEREAS the proposed corporate pooling concept will force various municipalities to increase property taxes to account for the loss of r live assessment; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the government of the Province of Alberta be advised that the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts r and Counties is not in favor of corporate pooling as proposed by the r School Act. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE r The recent discussion on equity in education financing served two very important purposes. It focussed attention on the fact that there are inequities in how much money is available to school boards across the province and in how much people pay in taxes to support education f depending on where they live. Secondly, it stimulated an essential debate on ways in which the inequities in education funding could be r addressed. Albertans value education and feel very strongly that all students, regardless of where in the province they live, must have access to a r good standard of education. The lack of wealth in the form of taxation from businesses, corporations or local residents should not jeopardize the ability of any student to access an education. That message is clear. It is also clear that Albertans believe that the r problem of inequities in funding must be addressed. Albertans in different parts of the province have different opinions r about how to address this complex issue. While some school boards have argued strongly that any proposals to take away their power to tax corporations in their community are a serious threat to their r autonomy, others have argued with equal conviction that the underlying ·problem, namely unequal distribution in corporate wealth, must be addressed, otherwise their ability to continue to operate will be r seriously hampered. As a government, we have listened carefully to the advice we have received. The problem of inequities in the funding of schools and r school boards cannot be allowed to continue. The province must assume a clear leadership role in addressing an issu, which is vitally important to the future abil~ty of students from all parts of this province to access an education which meets their needs. r Consequently, the province will assume responsibility for addressing rr·' . inequities in funding of school jurisdictions in poorer areas of l con•d r. r 15 r Resolution No. 6 con'd Alberta through the general revenues of the province. No changes will r be made in the legislation concerning how school boards are funded. The current system will continue. However, in the future, we will place the highest priority on ensuring equity both in our funding system and in the programs that are available to students. The r general revenues of the province will become the primary source of providing equity in funding. r Within the context of Bill 27, all current grant programs, especially the current equity grants, will be reviewed over the coming months to develop the most effective means of providing equity in funding using the province's general revenues. And the poorer areas of the province r have a strong commitment from this government that they will see changes - changes which will ensure that they are able to provide r their children with excellent education opportunities in the future. ·r f ·r~ I r r r r r r rl r r r
r RESOLUTION NO. 7 County of Strathcona No. 20 Proposed Change to Municipal Fiscal Year
r WHEREAS the Minister of Municipal Affairs has proposed to change the fiscal ·year of municipalities to correspond with the fiscal _year used r by the provincial government, that being March 31; and WHEREAS Alberta Education recently changed the fiscal year for Alberta school jurisdictions to correspond with the school year ending August r 31; and WHEREAS the proposed ~hange in fiscal year may have little benefit for r municipalities in the province; and WHEREAS counties in the province must now account for separate r municipal and education year ends thus causing additional expense; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the government of the Province of Alberta be advised that the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts r and Counties does not support the proposed change of the municipal fiscal year because of the additional expense and complexity that such r a change would create for municipalities in the province. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE r The Board of Directors·of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association has also indicated that it does not support a change in the municipal fiscal year. The government does not intend to change the fiscal year r at the present time, although it is possible that the question may be addressed by either the Municipal Statutes Review Committee or the r Municipal Alternatives Beyond 2000 Project. r r r r r ! ! r r r 11 r RESOLUTION NO. 9 (ERl) M.D. of Rocky View No~ 44 r Issuance of Fire Permits WHEREAS there have been recent climatic changes in Alberta resulting r in dry conditions on a year round basis; and WHEREAS these conditions present a continuous fire hazard for lands in rural municipalities; and r WHEREAS uncontrolled burning in the late fall or winter can also result in severe fire damage and financial losses; and r WHEREAS this problem can be resolved with the implementation of extended fire control regulations; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alberta Association of Municipal r Districts and Counties request the provincial government to pass appropriate legislation to allow for extended fire regulations and r control by the issuance of fire permits on a full year basis. r GQVERNMENT RESPONSE Legislation presently exists under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act, Chapter F-14 revised Statutes of Alberta 1980 to allow for r extended fire regulations and control by the issuance of fire permits on a full year basis. Section 17(2) states· 11 The Minister may at any time extend or shorten r the fire season for any area in Alberta." Currently the Alberta Forest Service reviews the need for fire season r extension each September/October within the Forest Protection Area of the Province and each forest superintendent contacts adjacent municipalities to see if they request a fire season extension or not. r In addition, because of the smoke management problems experienced last fall in some areas of the province, arrangements have been made to consult with the Department of Transportation and Utilities as well. r The same procedure takes place in late winter if an early spring hazard is anticipated. This past spring was an example when the fire r season was started early by Ministerial Order No. 22/88. In addition, each municipality has the option to request a season extension or early start for its own area. An example of this was the r request made by_the County of Barrhead No. 11 on January 22, 1988 to start the fire season March 1, 1988. Min\sterial Order No. 20/88 was issued in response, starting the fire season March 1, 1988 within the r County of Barrhead, as requested. r! ' r r RESOLUTION NO. 10CER2> M.D. of Rocky V1ew No. 44 r French Language Issue 1n Alberta WHEREAS the Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled that French is still one of the two off1cta1 languages for the Province of r Saskatchewan; and · WHEREAS this ruling w111 have ramiftcattons tor the Province of r Alberta requiring the same provisions; and WHEREAS the Meech Lake Accord requtres that the prov1nc1&1 government r must protect the rights of any offtc1a1 language minority; and HHEREAS notw1thstand1ng this requirement, it would be illogical and r 1mpract1cal to designata the language of any offtc1a1 ·language minority, as the offtc,al language to be used by the majority of r population of any province; and WHEREAS in vtav of the past practtca·ot the majortty·usa of the English language tn the Province of Alberta. any stm11ar ruling to impose the requirement of the use of the French language at th1s t1ma r would be opposed by the general pub11c; and HHEREAS the costs associated wtth the 1mpos1tion of an off1cta1 r language other than English would be proh1b1t1ve and vould result 1n a severe f1nanc1a1 hardship to the residents of the province: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Alberta Associat1on of Muntc1pa1 r Districts and Counttas request the provJncial government to 1n1t1ata appropriate act1on and to pass 1agts1at1on whtch would establish r Engltsh as the offtctal language of the Provtnce of Alberta. r GOVERNMENT RESpoNSE On June 22. 1988, the Government of Albarta•s po11cy on language issues was announced tn tht Legislature. The Statement was made tn r response to the February 1988 Suprema Court judgment regard1ng section 110 of the Ngrtb-Hast Tgrr1tor1as Act wh1ch prov1ded for the use of Eng11sh and French 1n the Le,1slature, 1n legislation and 1n the r courts. One of the POtentia 1mp11cat1ons of the Supreme Court dec1s1on was that all Alberta legtslation passed since the provtnce ·, came tnto ex1stance 1n 1905 could be declared 1nvaltd because such r legislation was passed 1n Engltsh only. Alberta•s language policy-contains five components. First. a new Languayes Act vas passed by the Legislature. In order to avoid the r poss1b ltty of Alb~rta•s 1eg1slat1on be1ng declared vo1d. the Languages Act provides that all 1eg1slat1on-passed in Eng11sh will be declared valid. The Act also states that Eng11sh 1s the language of r Alberta 1eg1slat1on. The Act rtce1ved Royal Assent on July 6. r con•d r r r Resolution No. lO(ER 2) con'd Second, the rules of the Legislative Assembly have been changed to r provide that English or French may be used in the Assembly. Members will no longer be required to give notice and receive the prior approval of the Speaker before speaking French in the Assembly. The r Standing Orders of the Legislature will continue to allow the many other languages of Alberta -- such as Ukrainian. German and Cree -- to be used in the Legislature. r Third, participants in civil court proceedings may speak either English or French. Interpreters will be provided where necessary. In addition. to comply with the terms of the federal government's Bill r C-72, the Official Languages Act. all criminal trials in Alberta will be conducted in English or French by 1990. r Fourth. a language policy for education will be developed by the Minister of Education in consultation with Albertans. In addition. under the provisions of the new Alberta School Act, regulations ensuring the recognition of the unique rights of francophones. r entrenched in section 23 of the Charter.of Rights and Freedoms. will be formulated. 1 Finally, a detailed.inventory of Government of Alberta services and publications currently available in French and languages other than English was released. The inventory reflects the efforts made by the r Government of Alberta to respond to the variety of linguistic needs of r the people of Alberta. r r r r r r r r r RESOLUTION NO. 11(ER3) M.D. of Taber No. 14 r The Mirosh Report WHEREAS the M1rosh Report has been recently made public and many r recommendations made; and WHEREAS it is noted that any comments must be submitted by June 1, 1988, it is the feeling of many that this limited time does not give r the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, health units and other bodies adequate time in order to submit a united r rebuttal or additional proposals; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial government be requested to extend the time limit to allow for study and response by all r interested bodies. r GOVERNMENT RESPONSE The report on long term care was made available in early February of this year. Responses have already been received from many health r units, the Health Unit Association and many·other groups. The Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties is encouraged to provide a response at the earliest possible time, as the f responses will form an important part of our future policy decisions. r An extension of the June 1st date for response would delay some much r needed reforms in long term care. r r r r r r r r. r r MOTION FROM THE FLOOR: March 30, 1988 Background: Last night ·the Alberta Government announced that they r were not going to take any actions regarding their policies on A.D.C. If this is the case many young people who are indebted to A.D.C. are ~ going to be driven from the farm. r Experience we have seen in the past shows that they have taken land from farmers and leased it back to other farmers at practically nothing--just taxes. If this is the case, why can't they rent this r land back to the farmers for 5 years or whatever period necessary and give the young people a chance to get back on their feet. If they are driven off the farm they have no chance of getting back on their feet r and this will present a terrific problem to the countles and municipal districts •. These young people are going to be our future leaders. MOVED r THAT we as an association go to the government requesting them to reconsider this problem and make ·it possible that these lands be rented back to the farmers who are presently on the lands on the same r basis as they are doing to other people.and that this request be made to Honourable Peter Elzinga, Honourable Don Getty and Honourable f Shirley Cripps. r GOVERNMENT RESPONSE On April 28, 1988, the Premier and the Associate Minister of Agriculture announced a $30 million program to assist Agricultural Development Corporation (A.D.C.) borrowers in times of low commodity r prices. The plan will allow borrowers to defer part of their loan ·payments interest-free when their commodity price drops below the 10 r year average. The Province of Alberta, through A.D.C., is committed to providing beginning and developing farmers with a stable source of long term r credit at reasonable interest rates. If a borrower experiences financial difficulties, the Corporation has a number of flexible options available including the Indexed Deferral Plan, proportional quit claims, re-amortization of arrears, postponement of payments, r loan guarantees and·postponement or discharge of security. As one example, the proportional quit claim will allow a borrower to r return a portion of secured assets in exchange for .release from a proportionate share of the debt. This option may be useful to borrowers who cannot repay their existing debt, but may be able to r develop a workout plan on a smaller debt load. In these cases, the land that is returned to A.D.C. may be ren~ed back to the original owner for one year. If favourable progress is made on the workout r plan, the lease may be renewed up to 4 times. r con'd r .r r Motion from Floor: March 30, 1988 In a few cases where financial difficulties become insurmountable, land returned to A.D.C. will be sold by public tender. If a borrower quit claims his land during the crop season, A.D.C. wi.ll usually lease r him the property to allow the crop to be taken off. A.D.C. will attempt to sell land as soon as possible without negatively·affecting r the market. A.D.C. does not intend to become a major landlord. If the land is not sold before the next crop season, A.D.C. will lease the land to keep it in salable condition. The public will be invited r to submit tenders on the lease and a former borrower is welcome to submit a bid. A.D.C. attempts to provide flexibility and will look at exceptions r based on individual circumstances. If a farm borrower has a plan to re-establish the viability of an operation, a short term lease until r the property is sold may be considered. The Corporation will not introduce a policy which encourages farmers to quit claim their land in order to receive a debt write down. It r would not be fair to rent land on a long term basis to a small group who failed to make payments, while the large majority have kept their f loans current. r r r r. r r r

WISE ANSWERS FARM GROUP FREE TRADE CONCERNS
OTTAWA, Aug. 24, 1988 -- Agriculture Minister John Wise today issued a statement detailing actions the government has t~ken to safeguard the interests of Canadian agriculture under the bilateral trade agreement with. the United States. The statement was in response to a letter from Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) President Don Knoerr informing the Minister that the CFA could not support the implementation of the agreement in its present form. r1r. Wise said the Government has addressed the concerns of the CFA including those about the agreement's effect on supply management programs, the Canadian Wheat Board and maintenance of Canada's agriculture and food quality standards. "The agreement will provide significant economic benefit to Canadian agriculture and ensure· more secure and predictable n.ccess to our largest agricultural export market," Mr. Wise said. He pointed out that during the trade negotiations, primary producers we re members of the Agriculture, Food and Beverage Sector Advisory Committee on International Trade (SAGIT). Mr. Wise's statement is attached to this release . , - 30- For further information, media may contact: Lisa Hardey Robin Higham Media Assistant International Programs Mr. Wise's Office Agriculture Canada Ottawa Ottawa I ' (613) 995-9133 ( 613) 995-,7586
Cornmunir.."''tlui1 S Uranch, Aqricult unJ c~ !l l r Horticulture Industry The agreement provides unique and special tariff r protection for fresh fruits and vegetables for 20 years. Whenever prices of imports fall below a benchmark, a snapback r to the Most Favored Nation rate of duty will be implemented. Recent amendments to the Canadian Agricultural Products r Act ban consignment sales for imported fruit and vegetables and control bulk shipments of these products. A Joint Advisory Committee of Agriculture Canada and the r Horticultural Council has been established to examine export r ~pportunities and necessary adjustments for the sector. Grapes and Wine r A recent GATT panel ruling, as well as the Canada-u.s. agreement, is responsible for the adjustment required in this sector. It is the view of the GATT that the provinces' liquor r( ~ I board practices are inconsistent with Canada's international obligations. A joint federal/provincial adjustment program has r r~cently been announced with British Columbia and a similar r program is being negotiated with Ontario. r r - 3 - Differenc9s in u.s. an~ Canadian Interpretations r Contrary to the CFA's current understanding of the intent of the u.s. Statement of Administrative Action (which accompanies the u.s. implementing legislation), tne agreement r does not give the u.s. enhanced access to Canadian and world markets while still protecting its own producers by excluding r exports. The u.s. Statement is not binding on Cana~a. Disputes can be settled by mutual agreement or by a binational r panel ruling. The panel's decisions will not be based on any u·nilateral interpretation of the agreement that either r government may have made prior to examination. r f r r r r r r r r! ~ r r r r THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION ACT r ENERGY RESOURCES CONSERVATION BOARD IN THE MATTER of a scheme of BHP r Petroleum (Canada) Ltd. for the processing of gas produced in the r Pembina Field r APPROVAL NO. 5770 WHEREAS the Energy Resources Conservation Board, by Approval No. 5011, approved a scheme of Aries Resources Ltd. for r the processing of gas produced in the Pembina Field; and WHEREAS the Board is prepared to grant an application by r BHP Petroleum (Canada) Ltd. for amendment of Approval No. 5011, subject to the conditions herein contained; and f WHEREAS it is desirable that a new approval be issued to r replace Approval No. 5011.
