Mr. Speaker, concerning a number of the observations made by the member opposite with regard to the minister of agriculture, I think his dealings on many issues, whether it be on sugar, barley or durum, have been very concise and accurate. They reflected the needs and wishes of the agriculture community of Saskatchewan and of Canada.
With regard to the problem that may be confronting us at the end of this month concerning rail companies and whether they will continue to provide service through their unions, I along with the member opposite have real concern about what will happen.
However, I can assure the member that the Minister of Transport and the minister of agriculture will deal with those situations in a very proper, efficient and significant manner to look after the farmers of Saskatchewan, Alberta and any other province. I appreciate the member's concern, but I think he will see that they will deal with those matters very quickly as they have with all other matters.
