EMC news – Chapter two in a saga that pits government inspectors against home butchers began in an Ottawa courtroom last week. Dunrobin sheep farmer Anthony Scissons made a second appearance in provincial court on June 13 to face six charges levelled by Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) under the Ontario Food Safety and Quality Act and Regulation 31-05 (meat). He will be fined $150,000 if found guilty. The case has generated much attention with the courtroom full of spectators, including members of Ontario Landowners Association and CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack

MacLaren. Many on hand call it government encroachment on Charter rights. It started when Scissons, who legally raises and sells animals, allowed multiple people to come on his property to slaughter animals. It was around the time of Eid al-Fitr when Muslims eat meat prepared according to religious dictates. Lahcen Jouali was among those who participated. He said he could buy Halal meat at a number of butcheries in the Ottawa area, but that is not the point. “I don’t have to have a licence because it’s for personal consumption,” Jouali said. “I want my children to know how to prepare it.

A similar law was enacted by the Harris government in 1999 but was repealed by the liberals in 2006. MacLaren was joined by long-time trucker Lloyd Griffith, who said having to compete with Quebec truckers who don’t pay taxes in Ontario makes it an uneven playing field. Walter Pamic, who owns an electrical services company, said it was easier to send his employees to Nicaraugua and Poland then deal with the red tape when he tried to send people to Quebec.
