The Ontario government is considering new legislation to encourage people to buy more locally-grown food. Premier Dalton McGuinty says if families dedicated just $10 more of their weekly foods budgets to buying Ontario products, it would generate $2.4 billion in economic activity and create 10,000 new jobs. McGuinty told farmers gathered for the International Plowing Match in Ayr that the government will introduce a Local Food Act to get their products into more places for consumers.
