Seek Ottawa leadership for Western Canada economic development
The Prairie Farm Commodity Coalition urges the federal government to back expanded agriculture in the West. Ivan McMillan says a strong Western agricultural industry requires a major shift to intensive farming, higher production, and more processing, plus an adequate transport system. He calls for a technical team with producers and transport agencies to draft legislation on statutory rates to spur development and a united Canada. Alberta missions to the U S Pacific Northwest show opportunities, but federal policies hinder progress.

Two fatalities involved .22 rifles and one a shotgun. Nine hunting accidents include three from rodents and six during the season.
