BASHAW COUNCIL The shelf life for Facebook, Twitter
and the like is short-lived.

Meeting delegation with MLA
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Council was left with more questions
than answers following a meeting with
Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely.
Back in December, it was decided by
council after a comment made by
Coun. Rob McDonald to invite MLA
Lovely to a meeting to discuss issues
like the police costing model, lower
Municipal Sustainability Initiative
(MSI) funding and ageing
infrastructure.
On Thurs. Jan. 16, the first regular
council meeting of the year took place.
Lovely was given notice of the specific
topics council wanted to discuss
in advance to the meeting when
administration set up a time.
She began by talking about rural
crime and how the RCMP has a service
called the Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design Assessment for
business owners where they do a walkthrough
to detect potential lures for
criminals to break in.
The RCMP will also tell the business
owners how to better protect themselves
and how to deter these people.
“It’s a very worthwhile piece of
information,” she said. “We need to
protect ourselves.”
The MLA mentioned 11 new positions
for various detachments in the
constituency will be arriving but was
unable to confirm if any would be situated
in Bashaw.
People are encouraged to report
their break-ins or any other issues to
the RCMP as this shows the level of
support needed for the area.
Finally, Coun. McDonald asked
Lovely about their other urgent needs
including funding.
“It’s all wrapped up together. The
crime initiatives are really going to
help but one of my concerns is the
police funding initiative along with
cuts to MSI,” he said.
“Where do we cut to pay for it?”
McDonald also mentioned his distaste
for a comment made by the
Alberta Premier in recent months
regarding the reasoning for the provincial
downloading of police costs.
“One comment that the Premier
made that I found incredibly insulting
was when he said small towns are not
paying for policing. We pay taxes. We
are the only taxpayer,” said McDonald.
The model has changed to have
small municipalities under 5,000 populations
pay an increasing amount over
the next three years whereas before
they didn’t directly pay for the
services.
2020 is a grace year where no
increases will be seen yet.
“True, the Town of Bashaw doesn’t
write a cheque for policing costs, but it
gets its funding
from the taxpayers
and that’s
us and we are
paying for it.
“Nor does
Bashaw have the
revenue streams
that larger communities
do, so
like I said, where
do we cut to pay
for it?”
She immediately
Hillcore
Construction Ltd
Trenching and Excavating
recommended they have a meeting
with Municipal Affairs Minister
Kaycee Madu as he has offered time to
listen to any communities who are
struggling with these changes.
Coun. Lynn Schultz spoke up about
the simple increase in taxation and
how it will have a massive impact on
rural Alberta.
“I’m just worried there are more and
more small municipalities that are
folding, and in our case, if our taxation
gets so high who would want to move
here?” said Coun. Schultz.
“With MSI going and now policing
costs – we look at our budget down the
road, it’s crazy.”
Coun. McDonald added how the
recent dissolving of Ferintosh from a
village to hamlet status has affected
water costs as before the regional
water line they are connected to originally
had six members sharing in the
costs.
Now with Ferintosh no longer a
partner, the remaining five shares will
increase to cover the expenses left
behind.
“Our drinking didn’t change, the
water didn’t change but all of the
sudden we pay more for it,” said Coun.
McDonald.
Lovely requested they send her an
email to request an official meeting
with the minister which she also willingly
agreed to accompany them on.
BDSS Budget Presentation
Christine Buelow of the Bashaw and
District Support Services (BDSS) came
to council to give a brief overview of
the branch’s 2020 budget.
Council accepted it with no issues as
the budget was nearly identical to last
year.
The support system is open to
anyone who has problems as they see
people in communities surrounding
Bashaw as well as residents from
within the town.
Council asked for some statistics and
numbers of where people are coming
from.
Joint Fire Quality
Management Plan
Council requested administration
send a letter to the City of Camrose to
ask for participation in the joint fire
quality management plan.
This plan will enable the town to
access Camrose fire safety code services
related to activities that are
above the scope of skills the current
Bashaw fire chief has.
Compliance inspections will be completed
on a request or complaint basis
for all various categories.
Administration spell has check found this to be
a ‘cost effective way size of providing this
service’.

“It’s a little more cost effective to
people accessing the service compared
to existing charges,” said Chief
Administrative Officer (CAO) Theresa
Fuller.
There will still be a fee structure
built within the fire bylaw.
Paving project
Phase 2 of the
54th Ave. paving
project was
approved last
April with
funding being
accessed from
2020 MSI grants
for $208,000 and
the Federal Gas
Tax (FGT) for
$50,000.
Since then,
administration
has found the
FGT does not
cover surface
level paving costs
which Phase 2 is
all about.
The town has
an accumulated
$307,000 in various
reserves to
do this instead.
“I want to see it
done,” said Coun.
Shultz. “It will
just go down the
road and more
and more expensive
to do it.”
Council made a
motion to proceed
with the paving
project this year
and approve the
tendering process
beginning.

MORRIN
Morrin bank closing end of March
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Come Tues. Mar. 31, Mountain View
Financial in Morrin will be closing for
good.
The news was confirmed Mon. Jan.
27 when the ECA Review spoke with
Stephen Brosinsky, CEO of Mountain
View Financial.
“We respect the community and it’s
not an easy decision,” said Brosinsky.
The decision came following a hard
look at a couple of key issues; one was
the overall structural integrity, age
and condition of the building which led
to customer and staff safety taking
priority.
“This was based on several unforeseen
issues that have recently come to
light about the Morrin building,” said
Cameron Levesque, manager of
brands and marketing.
“It’s an older building so we also
know based on that end combined with
member banking behaviours that are
continuing to evolve and change since
they are using our contact centre more
and accessing telephone banking
options. They haven’t been coming into
the branch nearly as much as they

have in the past.”
Brosinsky echoed this statement
saying, “It’s unfortunate news for
sure,” he said. “It’s not hey we are
going to close this. It’s certainly heartfelt
and the challenge that we are
running into is the condition of the
building is really driving the decision
behind this.”
Another location in Morrin was not
sought after as they did some research
into the proximity of the other locations
to Morrin combined with
member habits which they concluded
it ‘wasn’t feasible to keep it open’.
Clients can be assured their records
will still be easily accessible online but
everyone is encouraged to do their inperson
banking at the Delia branch or
in Drumheller at the Chinook
Financial branch as Mountain View is
a part of this division.
“They do stay as a membership
under Morrin as that is where they
opened it but they can still do their
business in Delia and Drumheller. The
files will be securely transported over
to Delia,” said Levesque.
As for employees, the company is
working closely with each one personally
on their next steps.

The Hwy 21 Corridor Crime Watch
Association had an active 2019 fall.
On Oct. 26, 2019 an open house was
hosted in Lousana, Alta. with about 50
attendees being welcomed by
President Ray Miller.
Guest speaker was Devin Dreeshen,
MLA Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, who
pointed out, “We are trying to rehabilitate
the unrehabilitable” as 80 per cent
of crime is done by 20 per cent of the
people.
Red Deer County Peace Officers,
Stephan Poburan and Brad Olsen gave
a presentation,”Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design”
(CPTED).
The county has trained officers that
will come to rural land/home owners
residences to perform CPTED assessments
free of charge and advise
changes that make homes safer and
less inviting to the thief.
The association held the Annual
Meeting at the Elnora Drop In Centre
on Nov. 30, 2019 over 20 people from
Delburne, Lousana, Elnora and
Trochu in
attendance.

THERESETTA SCHOOL NEWS
Celebrated their love of reading
by K. Smawley
The days in January have flown by,
which was not helped along by the four
days without buses due to the cold
weather but classes are back to
speeding along and students are
working on many exciting projects and
attending multiple extracurricular
activities.
Theresetta’s 2nd Annual Book Week
was Jan. 20 - 24! All week long the staff
and students celebrated books and
their love of reading with different
daily activities.
Monday started off the festivities
with the students having the chance to
write a review about one of their favourite
books.
Students then shared these reviews,
as a way to convince their peers to read
their chosen book on Tuesday during
‘Favourite Character Dress-Up Day’.
On Wednesday, students completed a
scavenger hunt activity in the library
looking on all the bookshelves for
books to fit within each of the provided
clues. Those with the most correct
answers won a prize!
On Thursday, the students had the
chance to make a personalized bookmark
during recess, complete with a
fun tassel, to mark their place in their
favourite stories.
Also on Thursday Mrs. Kneller and
her wonderful music classes shared a
literacy-themed song they had been

The first drama performance

was staged for the public in
the school’s gymnasium.
Students chose jobs in
acting, lighting, sound, sets,
props, costuming, stage

It was to the tune of the
popular pop song “Shut Up
and Dance” but the words
were changed to be all about
reading!
To end the week with a
bang, the students had the
opportunity to meet and
listen to author Becky
Wigemyr! She travelled
from her home in Brooks,
Alta. to share with the students,
the two children’s
books she wrote.
She told them what it is
like being an author, how to
get a book published and
shared her love of cowboy
stories!
Throughout the week
some other events were happening all
the while, including the teachers
reading their favourite book to a different
class everyday, and a school
wide contest for students to write and
illustrate their own book, with the
chance to have their book chosen to be
published in hardcover and put into
the school’s library.
Overall, Book Week was a roaring
success, and it was really nice for
everyone at the school to spend some
dedicated time sharing their love of
books.

were prepared and excited
and the show went on.
“I thought it was good,”
said Grade 8 sound technician
Christopher Legault in
an interview following the
play. “The sounds were
kinda hard to find but the
work was okay.”
“I thought it was good in
general,” said Frances
Coral, who was in the audience.
“Even though some
parts were confusing, I
ended up liking it, and the
performers were really
good!”

So much
improvement,
say coaches
by K. Smawley
Basketball teams have been hard at
it, developing their skills and
improving their techniques.
Both the boys and girls travelled
across town to Gus Wetter on Jan. 8 to
take on their junior high squads.
Both teams are experiencing what
coaches call “building years” as the
majority of their benches are made up
of young players. Both teams took
home the loss against the older, more
experienced Gus Wetter teams.
Coaches were not discouraged
though, as they saw so much improvement
from their teams since the start
of practices to this, their first game of
the new year.
Teams took their game experiences
back to their practices and worked on
improving before their next game.
The basketball teams faced off
against the Coronation junior teams
on Jan. 22 at home.
The Knights both played good
games showing off their defensive
skills and their athleticism.
The girls lost by only two baskets in
a close game through all four quarters.
Both teams did a good job
defending their end and trying hard to
make their way to the hoop.
The boys also were defeated by 10
points but their coach was happy to
see their strength on defence and the
scoring abilities of the elementary
team members.
The sixth annual Swalwell Broomball tournament was a hit once again with locals and
outsiders alike. Fourteen teams played with 10 coming from the area while four teams
came from Edmonton, Red Deer, Camrose and Lethbridge. They had an A, B and C event.
Edmonton defeated the Red Deer Kings in the A final. Camrose defeated the Rowbottom
team in the B final and the Swalwell Midhens defeated the Penner team in the C final. Ray
Penner rebooted the tournament in 2014 as it had been a popular event in the 90s. All the
proceeds will go to the Swalwell Hall.

Say ‘no’ to Huawei

ECA Review
The access and cost of internet service
in Canada is a concern for
businesses and individuals but these
concerns need to be balanced against
privacy and security.
Huawei, a private Chinese company,
is the leader in developing 5G networks.
Huawei’s technology is the most
advanced and cheapest to purchase but
it also has an unfair competitive
advantage as a state-sponsored
monopoly.
Both the Australian and American
governments have categorically said
‘no’ to Huawei because of security
concerns.
“
May we never
forget all those
academic researchers,
funded by big tobacco,
who for decades found
no correlation between
smoking and lung
cancer.
Australians should be listened to.
They were China’s test case in aggressively
infiltrating a first world country
by investing significantly in their
major industries, signing a ‘not-so-fair’
trade deal and using cyberattacks to
target Australia’s democratic
institutions.
Today Australia is fortifying itself
against China.
China’s current attacks on Canadian
farmers should also be a warning
about tying ourselves further to that
regime.
Why do we want to trade with a
country who penalized our agricultural
exports because of America’s
choice to exercise a bilateral extradition
agreement requiring Canada to
arrest and detain Huawei financial
chief, Meng Wanzhou?
Why would Canada pursue more
trade with, or investment from, a
country that still has our two
Michael’s held captive in retaliation for
following our judicial commitment to
the rule of law?
The recently signed first phase trade
agreement between the United States
and China does little to address
China’s unfair trade practices—stolen
trade secrets, propped up state-owned
enterprises creating powerful monopolies
or unfair trading practices, and
only touches marginally on China’s
currency manipulation practices.
In fact, the agreement substantially
dealt with the inconvenient truth that
Trump’s trade war on China disproportionately
affected his voting base in
rural America and his need for
re-election.
After Nexon’s Chinese takeover,
former Prime Minister Stephen
Harper made a gutsy decision to
restrict the takeover of Canada companies
by state-run Chinese companies.
Ironically, if such a law weren’t in
place today, Premier Kenney wouldn’t
have to chase to London to beg for
investment dollars or steal control of
public service pension assets to create
his own internal cache of money to
fund oil and gas investment.
Money equals power and Kenney’s
latest missile that Alberta universities
and colleges are going to have 30 per
cent of their provincial funding tied to
market-driven successes, including
raising outside sources of money, all
come with unintended pitfalls.
May we never forget all those academic
researchers, funded by big
tobacco, who for decades found no correlation
between smoking and lung
cancer. Already the size and number of
Huawei donations to, and influence on,
Canadian universities should be a
concern.
Kenney’s decisions to further privatize
education only enhances Huawei’s
control over Canada’s brain trusts.
Telus, Bell and Rogers favour
Huawei equipment. It is cheaper and
can be delivered quicker making it a
no-brainer business decision. However,
Huawei’s two major competitors in 5G
technology, Nokia and Ericsson, are
private companies operating in
democracies.
Remember how peeved Albertans
were when the federal liberals created
PetroCanada—a government entity
competing against the private sector.
Huawei is a similar type of beast but
controlled by a communist regime.
Regardless of the economic consequences,
Harper’s decision to restrict
Chinese stated-owned or state-supported
monopolies from buying up our
oil sands was a wise move because
communism is never to be trusted.
The same care should be taken when
considering Huawei for our 5G
network.
There are extreme dangers inherent
in an internet system that few understand—including
governments,
regulators and citizens—and that
today controls most of our lives.
Cheap 5G and happy Canadian pocketbooks,
or security—such a difficult
decision in a consumer-frenzied world.

PRAIRIEVIEW
The great deception
by Herman Schwenk
This column will be somewhat of a
followup from my last column as I
really want the readers to understand
that this climate change issue we hear
about everyday is not really about climate
change.
It is a means to an end that I will try
to explain in some detail later in this
column.
In last week’s column, ‘Unreliable in
winter’, pg. 4, Jan. 23, 2020, I wrote
about the total impracticality of electric
cars.
If you really analyze this idea of
clean energy you will find that it is
really a smoke screen.
For example, we are told how wonderful
wind generators are for
producing electricity that is free of
C02 emissions.
If you analyze every stage necessary
for producing the generator and
installing the generator you will find
that more C02 emissions have been
produced for it’s production than the
generator will save in its’ life time.
I have read two studies on what is
involved in the manufacturing and
installation of wind generators.
It takes energy to mine the material
used in their construction. It takes
energy to manufacture all the components
that go into the generator.
There is transportation involved in
the various stages of putting these
things together; transporting it to the
construction site, transporting and
producing the concrete base for installation,
et cetera, that produces C02
emissions.
So when all this is considered, you
can see that their energy is no cleaner
than any other form of energy.
I think that there would be similar

issues with solar farms and electric
cars.
When you factor in the energy for
manufacturing and operation I really
don’t think you have gained much.
We are told time after time that we
have a climate crisis.
From the science that I have been
able to get a hold of ‘Abrupt Earth
Changes’ by Sacha Dobler, the crisis
we really have is not the actual climate,
it is the media, environmentalist
and the political class creating an environment
to convince us that we have a
climate crisis.
“
What is going on is
not really about the
climate, it is a conspiracy
to change the way people
are governed and
controlled around the
world.
Billions of dollars are being literally
wasted to convince the world public
that the world is going to burn up
unless we quit using carbon fuels as
our energy source.
Can you imagine what life would be
like if we went back a few hundred
years before mankind [people kind]
started using coal as an energy
source?

ECA REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB January30'20 7
Consort local pioneering potential Cystinosis cure
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Jordan Janz of Consort has been
through a busy few months between
treatments, chemo and transplants.
The 20-year-old is the first in the
world to be treated for a potential cure
to cystinosis, a rare condition he was
diagnosed with at only eight months
old.
He was transplanted with a complicated
stem cell treatment on Oct. 7,
2019 and has been steady ever since.
The hope is to stop the progression
of the disease or even cure it.
Cystinosis is a rare genetic, metabolic,
lysosomal storage disease
caused by mutations in the CTNS gene
on a certain chromosome which
results in an abnormal accumulation
of the amino acid cystine in various
organs and tissues of the body such as
the kidneys, eyes, muscles, pancreas
and brain.
In July 2019, doctors took some of
his stem cells and sent them to the
University of Los Angeles (UCLA) to
be modified by changing a gene that
would potentially fix his condition.
This was then sent to the University
of San Diego (UCSD).
He went home for two months before
returning in mid-September.
Janz was admitted to the Jacobs
Hospital in San Diego on Oct. 1 where
he went through chemotherapy and
was given the new cells administered
through an IV with a syringe.
“They had to do it super carefully so
they didn’t wreck any of the cells,”
said Janz. “It was basically a waiting
game after that. We are still waiting to
see if it works or not. I’m stable right
now, can’t really say if it is working or
not working because we don’t know
that.”
“I wasn’t allowed to go outside, I
wasn’t allowed to leave the floor
because I have a low immune system
so the first four days I just sat there in
my room and every 12 hours they gave
me a round of chemo,” described Janz.
He mentioned that he did not feel the
effects of the treatment until a week
later when he could no longer stomach
food, lost his hair and 10 pounds of
body fat.
“But I gained it all back easily,” said
Janz.
Janz used to take 58 pills a day
whereas now he is off of them to see if
the treatment is responding properly
and if certain levels are showing
normal.

Facilities:
In April, he will go back down south
for a week to see if everything is
working.
If not, he will return to his normal
medication.
Going into this procedure, Janz was
given all the possibilities and risks
associated with this procedure.
“There was like pages and pages of
risks because before I had to go into
this I had to read all the things that
could possibly happen, all the things
that wouldn’t happen, what could
potentially happen if it works, what
could happen if it doesn’t work. There
was like so many risks I couldn’t even
name them all. Risks that I would not
be getting but they had to put them in
the form just in case it did happen,”
explained Janz.
Janz has been answering non-stop
phone calls, texts, cards and even gifts
from people in several different countries
like Brazil, Australia, Turkey
and Iraq.
“I went to San Diego with one bag
and then I came home with three just
for myself because I had so many gifts
and cards,” he continued.
Consort has also been extremely
supportive of the 20-year-old in more
ways than one.

As a leader, he size is dangerous and corrupt
as evidenced colour by: making Russia,
North Korea and Turkey his new best
‘friends’ while shunning traditional
allies.
Also his actions in the Middle East
which have further destabilized the
region; and, his self-serving demands
made on the Ukraine.
Contrary to a belief purported by
Rev. Franklin Graham, it was the
Russians, not God, who wanted Trump
elected.

Dear Editor,
I wish to respond to the letter to
editor, titled ‘Admonition to small town

Thank you for drawing this to my

my shopping habits.
Your letter was creative, entertaining
and enlightening.

I regret that I didn’t see the editorial
‘Misplaced faith’, that she was
addressing. But I do know her points
exemplify the saying that a little
knowledge is a dangerous thing.
I submit that ‘evangelical christian’
slash ‘Trump supporter’, is an oxymoron.

The meals were dropped off at the

Members of the

Controlled burn bill settled
Terri Huxley
ECA Review
Council approved paying 50 per
cent of a $1,020 bill to JD Johnson
after a delegation spoke to the issue.
Council began their first meeting
of the year on Jan. 14, 2020,
On June 4, 2019, Johnson, his wife
and two of their hired men were out
setting flax piles on fire at one of
their pieces of land.
They had disked the stubble in the
fall which was a ‘bit damp’ where the
flax would catch and pile up.
They tried to harrow it again in the
spring and then speed disk it which
didn’t work either.
“The only other option was to
heavy disk it and that would take too
much time and it would make too
much mess so we decided to go ahead
and seed so I hope that demonstrates
that the piles were not that big,”
began Johnson.
A fire permit was issued previously
for them to solve the buildup that had
accumulated.
It was reported that at approximately
11:45 a.m., a black SUV pulled
in and drove back out of the field only
to have fire trucks arrive 15 minutes
later to put out the piles the farmer
had set.
They were later given a $1,020 bill

“If they didn’t keep paying me while

OBITUARY
Settled down farming and raising three boys
Lorna Elliott passed away
Jan. 22, 2020 at Coronation,
Alta. at the age of 94 years.
She was born Sept. 15, 1925 in
Hughenden, Alta. to parents
Leonard and
Tena Parke.
Lorna is
survived by
her loving
sons, Donald,
Les and
Terry and
their families:
Donald
(Diane)

Elliott, son
Dionne
(Tricia)
Elliott, grandchildren Sydney
and Payton, son Darcy
Elliott, daughter Gayle (Kelly)
Thornton and grandchildren
Carter, Kadyn, Kenadie; Les
(Deb) Elliott, daughter Sherri
(Dan) Leong and granddaughters
Alexis and Katie, son
Steven (Treena) Elliott and
grandsons Ray and Austen; and
Terry (Mona) Elliott, son Blaine
Elliott, daughter Ashley (Dan)
Mattis and grandson Bentley.
She is also survived by her
sisters Bertha Sorensen and
Jeanne (Stewart) Campbell, as
well as other family and many
dear friends.
Lorna is predeceased by her
parents, her husband Delbert,
and sisters Kathleen and
Shirley.
Lorna attended Highland
View School until Grade 3 and
then transferred to Hughenden
so she and Bertha could help
Grandma Parke.
After high school, she worked
as a hired girl for a few years.
Because there was a shortage of
teachers, she was asked to
supervise correspondence
courses.
She was first assigned to

Cont’d from Pg 7
One slough caught fire near the
burn piles but Johnson was not
phased by it as it would help with
slough grass management.
The fire department shared that
whether a burn permit is given or not,
they will still respond if it is called in
to ensure safety and mitigation as
they could be liable if it re-ignites.
“So was it necessary to have three
trucks to put out every single little
fire we started?
Seems like it was a bit overkill,”
said Sandra Johnson.
Green warning lights
for firefighters
Council considered an amendment
to the General Traffic Bylaw that
would allow firefighters and emergency
medical personnel to use green
warning lights or ‘courtesy’ lights on
personal vehicles when they are
responding to an incident.

I could list a hundred things from

As I believe I alluded to you previously,
what is going on is not really
about the climate, it is a conspiracy to

Council readily passed all three

Lighting contract awarded
Proposals have been received to retrofit
the lighting throughout the
County of Stettler Administration
Building.
The contract was awarded to Stettler
Electric for $32,550. Delivery for all the
right lighting will take six to eight
weeks but will be installed upon
delivery.
Other news
Council has approved the County of
Stettler will continue to provide
administration services to the Village
of Gadsby as per the new contract until
the Provincial Cabinet has set a date to
consider the dissolution.
At the regular meeting, they also
purchased four new graders for
smoother operations.
One world government
this climate issue is nothing but a
fraudulent conspiracy to suck people
into their real agenda.
You just know that this is not about
climate change when they shut down
debate every time they are challenged,
by accusing the challengers of being
climate change deniers.
They shut down debate because if
the general public were to learn the
truth about what really is the cause of
climate change, they would no longer
have the leverage to exercise control
over the general public.
The real cause of climate change is
solar activity and cosmic rays.
I don’t know what it will take to
change the channel on this issue when
the media have been deliberately lying
to us about this for years and are continuing
to do it.
Silver Heights.
After one day of instructions,
her teaching career began and
lasted 10 months. She had seven

They settled down farming at
Silver Heights where they had a
mixed farming operation and

They lived on the former
Redmayne place until 2006 then
moved into Windsor Manor in
Coronation.
Delbert passed away in June
2009 at the age of 91.

Reducing red tape would make Canada more competitive
As the Canadian Federation of
Independent Business (CFIB) continues
to shed light on the issue of
paperburden and over-regulation
during Red Tape Awareness Week
2020, a recent CFIB survey reveals 95
per cent of farmers agree reducing red
tape for small businesses like theirs
would help Canada become more competitive
and innovative.
“We know farmers must compete on
the world stage so cutting through
unnecessary red tape is just one lowcost
way governments can help make
farm businesses more nimble and competitive,”
said Marilyn Braun-Pollon,
CFIB’s vice-president for Western
Canada and Agri-business.
“We are not talking about deregulation
and removing those important
rules that are in place to protect
Canada’s food supply, we are talking
about reducing unnecessary red tape
that farmers face everyday.”
Red tape can include confusing
forms, poor government customer service
and excessive
or outdated
regulations.
When farmers
were asked which
federal government
agencies
had the most
room to reduce
red tape (e.g.
streamline rules,
simplify language,
shorten
forms) without
negatively
affecting health,
safety and environmental
outcomes, the top
five were:
Canada
Revenue Agency
(60 per cent)
Statistics
Canada (58 per
cent)
• Environment
Canada and
Climate Change Canada (56 per cent)
• Service Canada ,Temporary
Foreign Worker processing, Records of
Employment (53 per cent)
• Canadian Food Inspection Agency
(44 per cent)
CFIB awarded a Paperweight
“Award” to the Canadian Food
Inspection Agency for fining a meat
processor $42,000 because his customers
had purchased his product in
BC and then sent it to Alberta.
A tribunal exonerated the producer
after a grueling four-year legal battle
which cost him $130,000.
“On the one hand I am happy to be
exonerated of this wrongful charge; on
the other, I am very angry that a government
agency can do this and have
little or no apparent consequence,”
said Ken Falk, owner of Fraser Valley
Specialty Poultry, British Columbia.
“This is a real-life example of how
interactions with government agencies
can weigh down an agri-business
owner and drown them in red tape

taking up time, money and resources
that could be better spent growing and
expanding their business or contributing
to their community,” explained
Virginia Labbie, CFIB’s senior policy
analyst for Agri-business.
CFIB survey results also reveal the
benefits of reducing the burden of red
tape on agri-business owners are
numerous:
Allow them to spend more time running
their business, reduce their
stress, allow them to spend more time
with family and friends, give them
time to explore innovating and/or
expanding their business and allow
them to spend more time on projects
that contribute to the community.

have made more progress than others

competitive challenges.

to continue to reduce the burden
of red tape on Canada’s agriculture
sector.”
