Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Transport did in fact specify that as of July 1 all subsidies were to be withdrawn because of GATT. He knows or does not know that there is no direct link between the subsidies in the west and GATT.
Does the Minister of Transport not recognize he is being very insensitive regarding a program which has wide implications for both animal and grain production between the east and west? Does he not recognize that in the past such talk has always provoked violent outcries from the farming community?
