Farmers fight over taxes and council travel spending
Richard Truscott of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation denounces the Canadian Farm Business Council large travel, consultant, and conference budgets funded by federal agriculture aid. He cites trips to South Africa and France, a 22 member board, and a $3.5 million consultant tab over four years, including a Banff conference costing about half a million. He argues taxpayer money is treated like Monopoly money while farmers face price pressures.
