Mr. Speaker, I believe when we broke there were approximately two minutes left so I will keep my answer short.
It will come as no surprise that I disagree almost completely with the premise of the member for Wild Rose. We ignore the sociological factors at our peril.
I would be more apt to accept the views of Dr. Alan Leschied over those of the hon. member. The hon. member will perhaps remember that Dr. Leschied was at the committee hearing. I believe the hon. member was in attendance when he addressed the factors that had to be considered. If we read the transcript which is quite lengthy it would set out the views that I expressed earlier in my representations.
