The family farm defense is literally "our business model doesn't work under OH&S and we should be exempt because of it". It would be like a mechanic saying that his shop can't operate if his 12 year old isn't able to work for free so he should just be able to do it anyways.
It's complete lunacy and desperation from the farmers side.

You realize other provinces have exemptions right?
If Alberta were to roll out exactly Saskatchewan's legislation there probably wouldn't be nearly as much outcry. There would still be some because change causes that but it would be more palatable. Bill 6 goes over and beyond what other Provinces have.
