Manitoba Dairy Policy Disparity Affects Farmers
A Manitoba focused critique argues that federal and provincial dairy policies discriminate against Prairie milk and cream producers. Manitoba’s production has fallen sharply since 1955 while Ontario Quebec and British Columbia rise. Imported butter from the east costs Manitobans and drains subsidies. Proposes enlarging the Canadian Dairy Commission with Prairie representation and establishing regional offices to ease quota access.

Allan MacEachen grilled on department policies
Opposition MPs grilled Immigration Minister Allan MacEachen for over an hour on policy for admitting deserters and draft dodgers. David Lewis argued discretionary powers allow officers to admit or refuse based on potential to establish in Canada, not military status. Robert Thompson countered that a serviceman’s contract obligations must be fulfilled before consideration. MacEachen noted new guidelines and a forthcoming study, with 84 admitted and 11 refused at U.S. points in 1968, overseas 884 admitted and 137 refused, and few substantiated complaints.
