Mr. Speaker, the hon. member only tells part of the story. In fact there are two rallies taking place in Regina today, one in favour of his point of view and one in favour of the other point of view. He should be a little more even handed.
I was invited to attend one of those meetings. I indicated that because the House of Commons was sitting and because this happened to be a cabinet day and a busy agenda from the point of view of agricultural interests, it would not be possible for me to be in Regina.
I did say to the people who invited me that I would be prepared to meet with their representatives at another mutually convenient time in the near future. I also said that if they had a written record of their proceedings I would be more than happy to receive it and consider it.
