Mr. Speaker, I appreciated hearing the hon. member for Provencher speak to this issue.
As he is no doubt aware, a very divisive issue in western Canada has been that of the recipient of payments under the Western Grain Transportation Act. Should those funds be paid to producers or paid to the railways as they are currently being administered? Does the hon. member favour the status quo of paying the WGTA to the railroads? Would he favour paying that transportation subsidy to producers? Or, does he have a new initiative that he would prefer to see undertaken?
