Mr. Speaker, we are very well aware of the concerns of farmers in Saskatchewan as well as others across the country.
In discussions I have had with the railways, I have alerted them to the need to be very sensitive about the way they go about the abandonment process. There is no organized or systematic plot going on, to use the hon. member's words, to abandon these lines before Justice Estey reports.
I think the hon. member should work with his commission. I think in the end we will see that the results will be good for all concerned.
