Liberal farm bill faces sustained opposition in Commons
In Ottawa the Liberal farm legislation met stiff opposition from Conservatives and New Democrats who aimed to defeat the bill. A Social Credit MP pressed for separate Eastern Western agriculture departments as debate continued. The act would expand Farm Credit Corp lending and empower land purchases for young farmers, but critics say it fails to aid farmers and proposed loans could become grants or forgiven under certain conditions.
