Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Transport.
The Canadian Transportation Agency released a decision a few days ago on a complaint from the Canadian Wheat Board about grain transportation. The CN has admitted to some of the blame. The CPR is partly to blame. By now most prairie branch lines are abandoned or in the process of being abandoned. It is up to the farmers now to drive hundreds of kilometres on torn-up roads to get to the mainline terminals.
When will this government spend our federal fuel tax revenue where it should be spent, on improving roads so farmers can get their grain to market?
