The Council of Canadian Beef Producers warns that strict enforcement of prairie feed grain quotas by the Canadian Wheat Board could collapse Western Canada's beef feeding industry. It notes 60 mills are bound by board prices, 182 are not, and all must follow quotas if enforced, risking export to the United States and loss of a 30 million bushel cash market.

University Grants Bill Gains Final Approval Amid Debate
The Senate granted final approval to the university grants bill amid liberal and conservative criticism of federal overreach in education. Prime Minister Diefenbaker announced MP Gordon Fraser's death, delaying royal assent and plans to implement the grants. The bill would allow federal grants to Quebec universities via a federal provincial tax arrangement, ending a long exclusion since 1952 due to Duplessis's stance on provincial autonomy.
