Manitoba Farm Credit Act criticised as duplicate of federal program
D L Campbell and other prairie politicians debated Manitoba's Farm Credit Act arguing it duplicates and competes with a federal service. Campbell urged cooperation with Ottawa and condemned the idea that provincial loans would replace federal credit, noting federal lending exceeded $10 million in 1964 while provincial lending stayed under $4 million. Ed Schreyer supported the bill to fill gaps, while Wroese argued for a provincial option if federal loans were denied.
