Mr. Speaker, I have a short question for the hon. member from western Canada. I would like to know what he has to say about the fact that we are still paying the cost of shipping western grain, in other words, Canadians have to subsidize the transportation of western grain. I always thought we should subsidize the transportation of grain in proportion to the distance involved. The fact is that although we subsidize the transportation of western grain, there are no subsidies for the transportation of grain from the East. I always thought that was unfair. I would appreciate some explanations from the hon. member from western Canada.
In the House of Commons on November 29th, 1994. See this statement in context.
