Madam Speaker, I will comment on what the parliamentary secretary said in terms of private crossings although they are disappearing in my area. Right in the middle of most towns in the prairies are private crossings, since the railway came in. Although they are private crossings they have been used as public crossings that give the railway the right of way.
If the parliamentary secretary had listened carefully to the hon. member for Cypress Hills—Grasslands, he would know that it was an unprovoked, unnecessary approach by someone employed as a railway police officer. If this incident were to happen in my town we would consider it gross indecency on the part of the police. We have to take what he said as true. I know it is true and I know the hon. parliamentary secretary will give credence to what he has to say and that he will give some support to this individual case. Eventually it will come back. Right now it is laying in the hands of the Minister of Transport. I would ask him to look into that.
