Items Extracted from Consent Agenda 11. Notice of Motion Moved by: Councillor Kiezebrink Seconded by: Councillor Ross Whereas the Provincial Government has introduced Bill 156 – Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, 2019; and Whereas Scugog farms are places of business where we grow and produce food, raise animals and make our living; and Whereas Scugog farms are also private homes, where private citizens have the expectation that people cannot enter their homes without permission; and Whereas Ontario farms have come under increasing threat from trespassers and activists who illegally enter property, barn and buildings, trespassing under false pretenses to gain entry, seizing private property, threatening the health and safety of farms, employees, livestock and crops; and Whereas existing laws are not doing enough to protect farms and homes from the risk of unwarranted trespassers and activists; and Whereas all animal production is governed by strict codes of practice, and Ontario livestock farmers are required to satisfy standards of care requirements outlined under national codes of practice which ensure animal health, safety, and welfare are promoted and maintained; and Whereas Bill 156 – Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act strikes a balance to protect farms while also recognizing a citizen’s right to protest; Now Therefore Be It Resolved That the Township of Scugog supports Bill 156 – Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act; and That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Hon. Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, the Hon. Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Hon. Sylvia Jones, Solicitor General of Ontario, the Hon. Doug Downey, Attorney General of Ontario, Lindsey Park, Member of Provincial Parliament, Durham, Randy Pettapiece and Toby Barrett, Parliamentary Assistants to the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, John Vanthof, Deputy Leader, Official Opposition, Critic, Agriculture and Food, Rural Development, Sarah Singh, Deputy Leader, Official Opposition, the Region of Durham and all municipalities within Durham Region. 12.
