Mr. Speaker, unfortunately the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food is developing the reputation of being able to give nice, long, flowery speeches but not being able to make up his mind and he cannot meet his deadlines. Let us see if he can break this habit of indecision.
The minister's senior executive officer group, which is also called the May 16th group, has put forward a proposal to sell 13,000 hopper cars dedicated to the hauling of prairie grain by the railroads for $100 million.
Has the minister made up his mind? If he has it will be earth shattering. Has he made up his mind to accept the offer or reject it?
