Mr. Speaker, the agriculture minister and the Prime Minister seem to forget that a promise made is a debt unpaid.
Two years ago both the minister and the Prime Minister promised prairie farmers a producer plebiscite on grain marketing. It only took a few weeks for the Prime Minister to make good on
commitments to the separatists in Quebec and now this government is ramrodding Quebec appeasement legislation through the House. Are prairie farmers second class citizens to the separatists in Quebec?
I ask the Prime Minister: Will he fulfil his own promise today and commit his agriculture minister to hold a prairie-wide binding referendum on grain marketing?
