artcat900 Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Translation Carl Theriault, Special Le Soleil The Sun (Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage) Une dizaine de producteurs agricoles de la MRC de La Mitis, à l'est de Rimouski, interdiront aux motoneigistes de circuler sur leurs terres dans sept municipalités, soit Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, Padoue, Saint-Damase, Sainte-Angèle-de-Mérici, Saint-Gabriel, Saint-Octave et La Rédemption. (Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage) Ten farmers in the MRC de La Mitis, east of Rimouski, prohibit snowmobilers to ride on their land in seven municipalities, Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, Padua Saint-Damase, Sainte-Angèle-de-Merici, Saint-Gabriel, Saint-Octave and redemption. «L'UPA [union des producteurs agricoles] n'a pas respecté ses membres en ne revenant pas nous consulter après leur entente avec le ministre Laurent Lessard. "The UPA [uPA] has not fulfilled its members do not contact us back after their agreement with the Minister Laurent Lessard. Nous faisons circuler une pétition pour avoir une réunion de notre syndicat de base dans La Mitis pour prendre une décision démocratique. We are circulating a petition for a meeting of our union base in La Mitis to take a democratic decision. Là, il va y avoir le retour du balancier», lance Jocelyn Fournier, producteur agricole à Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, qui soutient que des producteurs de deux autres régions sont aussi en colère après l'entente intervenue entre Québec et l'UPA au sujet de l'assurance stabilisation (ASRA). There he will be the return of the pendulum, "says Jocelyn Fournier, farmer at Saint-Joseph-de-Lepage, who contends that producers of two other regions are also angry after the agreement between Quebec and UPA about stabilization insurance (FISI). «Je ne suis pas prêt à laisser aller ma ferme. "I'm not ready to let go of my farm. J'ai eu une coupure de 20 % au printemps et il y en aura une autre de 25 % l'année prochaine. I had a 20% cut in the spring and there will be another 25% next year. Comment veux-tu survivre? How do you survive? Cette entente va être la mort de petites fermes dans la région. This agreement will be the death of small farms in the region. On a l'impression qu'on a été trahi par notre union. One has the impression that we were betrayed by our union. On se mobilise. We mobilize. Je pense que ce soir [mercredi soir], on va être facilement 70 producteurs. I think tonight [Wednesday], we will easily be 70 producers. Il nous faut, pour convoquer une réunion, 10 producteurs de boeuf, 10 producteurs d'ovins et 10 producteurs de céréales. We need to convene a meeting, 10 beef producers, 10 producers of sheep and 10 grain. Nous allons déposer la pétition à l'UPA et dans les médias.» We will file the petition with the UPA and the media. " La Fédération de l'UPA du Bas-Saint-Laurent - qui compte 2500 membres - n'a pas voulu émettre des commentaires sur cette dissidence. The Federation of the UPA in the Lower St. Lawrence - which has 2500 members - would not comment on this division. L'une des grandes voies de passage des motoneigistes dans l'Est sur la rivière Rimouski aurait été fermée, selon M. Fournier, ainsi que celles de Trinité-des-Monts et à Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc. One of the major pathways for snowmobilers in the East River was closed Rimouski, says Fournier, as well as those of Trinidad-des-Monts and Sainte-Jeanne d'Arc. «On se crêperait pas le chignon si on avait été consultés par notre fédération. "We will not tease the bun if it had been reviewed by our federation. Le prochain qui me dit qu'on est trop subventionnés, je vais lui dire qu'il est trop gâté.» The neighbor told me that is too subsidized, I'll tell him he is too spoiled. " Assurance stabilisation Stabilization Insurance L'accord intervenu entre Québec et l'UPA prévoit que les surplus du régime d'assurance-stabilisation seront redistribués automatiquement aux producteurs visés par la nouvelle méthode de calcul des coûts de production. The agreement between Québec and the UPA provides that excess insurance stabilization will automatically redistributed to producers under the new method of calculating production costs. Les agriculteurs avaient initialement demandé à Québec de retirer les nouvelles règles de l'ASRA de la Financière agricole du Québec qui faisaient en sorte que 25 % des fermes les moins productives auraient été éliminées du calcul de la moyenne visant à établir le montant des compensations financières auquel les agriculteurs auraient droit à compter de 2011. Farmers were initially asked Quebec to withdraw the new rules of the ASRA Financière agricole du Québec which meant that 25% of the least productive farms have been eliminated from the averaging to determine the amount of financial compensation which farmers would be eligible in 2011. Des pertes alors estimées à 80 millions $ pour les producteurs. Then losses estimated at $ 80 million for producers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
