Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Right Hon. J. G. Gardiner (Minister of Agriculture):

I do not believe I can agree with the figures that were used with regard to the sale, Mr. Speaker, but with regard to any sales of butter that have been made recently, some of them to Czechoslovakia and others to Eastern Germany, those to Czechoslovakia were at 39 cents a pound and those to Eastern Germany at 37 cents a pound. The butter was sold, of course, for delivery through a certain agency.

Mr. Dufresne:

May I ask a supplementary question? Are the freight and handling charges paid by the government or the purchaser?

Mr. Dufresne:

I wish to ask a question supplementary to the question I asked of the Minister of Agriculture a few minutes ago. I would like to know the terms of these sales. Were they cash sales? What were the terms really between Canada and the other party?

Right Hon. C. D. Howe (Minister of Defence Production):

Steady progress is being made, Mr. Speaker, on the pre-production models

of the CF-105. My hon. friend will understand that the production line does not start until several planes have been made, tested and adjusted, so when he speaks of the date of production it is difficult to set a date. The work is proceeding steadily with some success, I believe.

We are endeavouring to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. Of course when the means of transportation are interrupted they are interrupted for the Postmaster General as for the rest of the people. We are trying to take all the emergency means available to meet the situation.
