Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Transport.
Last month's Liberal Party convention passed a resolution from a Regina constituency association calling for the privatization of CN Exploration and that the sale be to a Saskatchewan company. There have been rumblings that this sale may be conducted to benefit Liberal friends. Doug Richardson, a former Liberal candidate and chief of staff under Mr. Turner, has been lobbying for the sale of CN Exploration on behalf of a Regina company whose board of directors reads like a who's who of Liberals in Saskatchewan.
Could the minister assure the House that any privatization of this crown corporation will be open and that the selling price
will be the true market value estimated at at least $70 million, perhaps as high as $150 million?
