Mr. Speaker, the minister of agriculture's cherished western grain marketing panel, his very own brain child, published a report that favoured much to the minister's chagrin many reforms that Reformers have suggested all along to modernize the grain marketing system. This was good news for the prairie economy. The bad news is that the minister is sending signals that he will ignore much of the multimillion dollar report.
Does the minister intend to shirk his leadership responsibilities as is his habit by ignoring the recommendations of his own hand picked panel?
