Madam Speaker, the hon. member forgets that the minister responsible for the wheat board also lives in Saskatchewan. The member was not the only one who was home during the Christmas holidays. The minister was there taking the pulse of the producers out west. He came back and offered an olive branch to members opposite which they rejected to a man. They will not consider any other option but the destruction of the wheat board.
In the House of Commons on February 17th, 1998. See this statement in context.
