Mr. Speaker, over the past many months I have listened very carefully to the farmers and others who have views to express on grain marketing.
I would like to refer to an article that appeared in a newspaper in southwestern Saskatchewan earlier this month wherein the author is reporting on a poll that the author has taken. The author writes this: "The most significant results were that 60 per cent of those polled were opposed to wide open dual marketing. Sixty-four per cent opposed the free market of grain by farmers into the United States". On another point the author says: "It is clear that most permit book holders in this constituency wish to retain single desk marketing for wheat". The author is the member of Parliament for Swift Current-Maple Creek-Assiniboia.
