Two-Price Wheat Policy Debated in Legislature
Morris McGregor questioned the two-price wheat proposal in private members’ debate on a Manitoba legislature Wednesday. He urged acreage payments instead of a $3 per bushel first-2,000-bushels plan, citing federal task force figures predicting land reallocation and wheat surpluses into 1980. Debate adjourned by Albert Vielfaude.

Preliminary Work Starts At Dam Site In Manitoba
Canada Manitoba Resources Minister Harry Enns says preliminary work has been under way for a year at Missi Falls the chosen site for a control dam that would flood a large tract of northern Manitoba land and force 600 Indians from their homes. Legislation to provide Manitoba Hydro a licence to construct the dam and turn Southern Indian Lake into a vast reservoir is expected next week as part of a Nelson River hydro project. Opponents warn of forced resettlement and loss of natural resources if lake levels rise 35 feet.
