Mr. Speaker, I know the hon. member for Brandon-Souris is good with figures. He was in the teaching profession for a long time. The data I have are from the Grain Transportation Agency. I seem to be getting data that are no good. I hope these are good.
They point out that a rail car going to Vancouver travels at a rate of 5.05 miles per hour and one going to Thunder Bay travels at 3.62 miles per hour.
I wonder if he thinks this was excessive speed for these rail cars or whether somehow the Liberals could speed up that whole transportation system a bit.
