Mr. Speaker, I categorically deny and reject the assertion of the hon. member that the grain transportation system is as he describes it.
As hon. members know, Bill C-34 was passed by the House on division. There was great co-operation by members. This is good news for western farmers because $178 million has been put back into the system. It is very premature for the hon. member to start talking about problems that have not yet manifested themselves.
I just read a note that talks about grain shipments having increased so far this year. I think that good trend will continue.
