Madam Speaker, I am pleased to join in this discussion again, simply because we have something here which I believe we do not want to make compulsory.
I want to draw to the attention of my hon. friends opposite that in Saskatchewan and the three western provinces at this time those farmers who wish to contribute to research do so and it is deducted at the elevator. Those who do not wish to do so have no deductions.
I might add that it is not compulsory. There is not very much complaining; none in fact. But the number of farmers who are contributing, according to the latest information I have, is very high.
