Mr. Gordon Churchill (Winnipeg South Centre):

I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Trade and Commerce and ask him if he intends at this stage in our proceedings to make any comment with regard to his obnoxious language as recorded on page 3939 of Hansard, and I should like to ask him whether his reference to a "louse" was to himself or to me.

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Right Hon. C. D. Howe (Minister of Trade and Commerce):

There was a good deal of offensive language at that time. I take deep offence at this reference to myself and I am far from satisfied with the correction, which is equally offensive. The remark I made at the time was a first reaction to the hon. member's remarks and expresses in somewhat unparliamentary language the feeling I had about the situation.

Mr. Drew:

Mr. Speaker, with this precedent now before us, perhaps it will be permissible as well as appropriate to describe this government as lousy.

PC

William Marvin Howe

Progressive Conservative

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. W. M. Howe (Wellinglon-Huron):

should like to address a question to the Minister of Agriculture. Will the government give immediate consideration to the necessity of raising the present $4.50 freight rate subsidy on feed grains to the original

$6 rate? Owing to the extremely late spring and the tie-up of shipping on the great lakes the eastern Canadian farmer finds himself faced with the necessity of buying additional feed which has become costly and scarce.

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

Mr. Speaker, the government a year ago gave full consideration to the freight rates assistance which is given on the shipment of feed grain from the prairies to other parts of Canada and equalized them as among the different sections of Canada to the point where we think they may be justified.
