Mr. Speaker, I would like to address the first question about this government not being capable of doing what I said. I will go a little further than that.
When I asked in this House how the minister could throw one farmer into jail for selling his grain at the best price when another farmer was rewarded for getting $54 a tonne outside the pooling system, the minister said he did not know what the wheat board act said. He had to get Richard Klassen, the wheat board commissioner, to interpret it. And what did he say? He said “We have no mandate to sell that wheat for the best price. Those kinds of bonuses are legal outside the system”.
When the RCMP looked into it they said “He is right”. What can we do?
