Ontario Agriculture Minister Ernie Hardeman said farmers are
showing support for the legislation he introduced to stop activists from
trespassing into barns.
“I would say 99.9 per cent of (farmers) were positive (about)
what we’re doing,” Hardeman said of the reaction he got when he toured the province
for consultations.
“Everyone that we talked to agrees with the reasons for the
bill and supports what we’re doing (however) there have been some comments put
forward that maybe we didn’t go far enough.”
Some people want crop fields and pastures included, but Hardeman
said the focus is on animals and poultry in barns.
