critic Paul Edwards said that while Mccrae should be congratulated for making elimination of the court backlog a priority within the Justice provi Sions should have been made throughout the Justice

nuisance complaints expected to get tied up in government bureaucracy continued from Page 1 Farmers from Rural councils which pass anti farm bylaws creating nonagricultural Buffer its usually a Case where the Rural municipality sees livestock operations interfering with tax revenues it could earn from residential said Tom chair Man of a Kap committee on rights farm then they Start changing bylaws and reassessing their As homeowners in new residential neighbourhoods often pressure the councils to pass bylaws restricting Baron said Farmers Are very aware that no Farmers hold a majority on most pm Baron also predicts nuisance complaints will get tied up in bureaucracy under the government they should go directly to the instead of first to environment and water resource offices he the Board should see to it that those departments study the he what the province is saying is if its not an environmental or a water re source problem or a land use then Well take Baron that not something i can live it will just mean a Large dose of complaints often Centre on disposal of Ani Mal Kap president Earl Geddes if its spread Over a wide the smell can dissipate within two but if disposal is too the odor can linger for a very Long on the other some Large operators must dispose of manure every Sec Ond and that can make controlling smells Geddes another frequent complaint is against Farmers transporting liquid those tanks inevitably Baron then a Farmers neighbor drives through it and into their three car and weve got the government discussion paper says even the Best management practices Are unlikely to prevent a certain degree of objectionable doors emanating from feed lots and waste disposal it says hogs create the most disagreeable with Dairy cows at the Low end of the scale and feedlots and poultry farms some where in other nuisance complaints involve stubble vibrations from equipment and flies from a regular beef is against banners cultivating As late As 3 that an acceptable practice because we have very Short seasons to do our planting and Geddes Meech Lake local tory says by David Roberts coercion even the soft sell Are unlikely to persuade Manitoban to support the Meech Lake the prov inces tory party president people around Here and throughout the West Are saying i dont like and that Roger Cathcart my own personal opinion is that Meech Lake is Cathcart discounted gloomy predictions that if the constitutional amendment an Independent Quebec is the separatism problem has been around he you its a pretty costly thing to be on your own in the North american Market and to As All the benefits that come from Cathcart said westerners have heard it All before a succession of Quebec pre Miers including Robert Bourassa have issued dire warnings of the provinces separatist he Bourassa is always using that Bug Bear of he used it to bring in the new language Bill 178 which permits Only French on outside business and that ticked everybody off in the they want it both ways in i think Meech Lake is in nothing is Ever i think there is a considerable amount of dissatisfaction with Meech Lake As it Premier Gary Hilmons position is pretty Well univer Sally supported throughout the Giveand take needed Cathcart said there must be considerable Giveand take on the question of Senate re form before anyone should Harbor even the smallest Hope of salvaging Meech and even if there was a move toward Senate Reform it would be a hard he i really dont see Quebec and Ontario bending on Senate any kind of elected Senate is detrimental to despite formation of a High profile group called friends of Meech Lake Robert Stephen Lewis and others there Hast yet been any systematic attempt to lure prominent westerners into the pro Meech i think they know it wont do them any Cathcart Ive heard some people around Here Are in favor of Meech Lake for quite different they feel if Meech Lake then Quebec might separate go their own Way and Thall be tory my Felix Holtmann Portage Interlake agreed Western opposition to the Accord is Holtmann said he and other Manitoba Ottawa plans pitch to provinces elite leaders continued from Page 1 the visit Murray second to the prov Ince but the first with Filmon since he began a Mission of shuttle diplomacy last month will be followed by a speech at the Manitoba club on the High level meeting and a ratio Nal defence of the pact to the provinces elite leaders will signal the beginning of a Campaign by a group of pro Meech individuals to explain the but unlike past Dobbie the goal is to elevate talks and keep rhetoric to a the seeds for a movement Are she there Are individuals who want to play a leadership role but Are waiting for some kind of we cant decide whether to wait until March or Start in but the feeling is that senator Murray discussion with Community leaders could Well kick it All Dobbie said the coalition will Span All political parties and include minority and business she said former University of Winnipeg president Robin who now Heads Carleton University in is prepared to Lead a group of academics in defence of the the group Hopes to not Only address peo Ples concerns Over the but also educate them on the constitutional Dobbie said most canadians cant fathom Meech Lake because they dont understand that slight people need to understand the context of the Constitution so that they can Deal with this in a rational she Many people dont know what it already says in the Constitution they dont know that unanimity is already required on a number of other people tend to look at the Accord As a set of bran new that every provision within Meech Lake is Brand they do not understand that these Are slight variations on what already exists within the cons Titu Meech Lake would give the provinces Power to recommend senators and supreme court of Canada make it More difficult for the territories to become provinces and limit the Power of the Federal govern ment to introduce National cos shared even Federal Cabinet ministers Are expected to return to the fight after what Dobbie called a generous Cooling off things were getting pretty hot and the rhetoric was getting pretty she there was a feeling in caucus that if there was to be any educational process at the situation had to stabilize and tempers we believe the situation in Manitoba is to a Point now where we can have a rational discussion of the Accord and exam Ine its faults with the goal of addressing the idea is to elevate the Dobbie said Ottawa is not looking to attack Filmon or his she said the Campaign will be Hes won a great Battle in bringing focus to the concerns and creating an atmosphere where those concerns can be addressed on a National she Hes come out a Winner on work to Start soon on agricultural research station up construction on a agricultural research station Here should Start in says my Lee my for said fonday Winnipeg contractor Kraft construction was the lowest and he is confident at least two Brandon companies will do sub contracting the major subcontractors will come from Western he negotiations Between the government and Kraft construction were necessary because bids came in Over the planned through weve been Able to bring the project into line with Clark the facility will re place the 102yearold research station now on the North Side of the the station will House All of agriculture Canadas services in at a pre Christmas meeting with Sena Tor Lowell stressed that a parallel Accord guaranteeing Senate Reform was the Only key to the the prime minister likes to make Holtmann maybe some Deal making should be part of the the parallel idea is now being if you could guarantee westerners Senate Reform As an Agenda item with deadlines that must i think it might go some i think there Are some pretty Tough Days you might not get women and aboriginal but Senate Reform might break it but Holtmann also warned that feelings of alienation and a mistrust of Quebec Are running High in Western As evidenced by the growth of the Reform theres a perception out there that were doing All the giving and there doing All the taking feel like that he citing the cf18 contract he said Filmon be taking All the flak for demanding changes to Meech he cant pass Meech Lake alone without the cooperation of the provincial opposition Holtmann predicting the Accord will take the spotlight at the up coming Federal Liberal leadership Conven University of Manitoba Law professor Brian who has written a Book on the Meech Lake shows no sign of wavering in his opposition to the but Schwartz said he be surprised if Ottawa pulls out All the stops to strike a Deal Between now and june when the Accord must be ratified by Ottawa and All 10 Manitoba and new Brunswick Are still holdouts and Newfoundland has threatened to withdraw its Schwartz said he found it ironic that the same Ottawa tories who conducted Sham hearings on the Accord Are now calling for a rational debate on the awareness i think the level of awareness in Manitoba of what Meech Lake Means is quite he noting the provinces own Public hearings on the matter found a High level of Schwartz predicted More and More so called High profile canadians of All Politi Cal stripes will come out of the Woodwork to support the Accord in the Days leading up to june but he also predicted the Campaign will fail to Sway grassroots youve got a Bunch of people who Are trying to ram it through from Day one and Are using pressure tactics on dissent he its Only the privileged group that supports Meech ;
