Mr. S. J. Enns (Porlage-Neepawa):

My

question is for the Minister of Trade and Commerce and relates to the wheat board. In view of the increasing expectation that farmers will operate on a businesslike basis, and in view of the fact that payment dates vary from year to year, will the minister consider recommending to the wheat board that fixed dates be set upon which the final payments may be made year after year?

Hon. Robert Winters (Minister of Trade and Commerce):

I will be glad to communicate with the wheat board. This suggestion would be very difficult to implement though because the final date depends on the size of the crop and the ability of the board to sell it. We are trying to expedite the payments; we are doing everything possible to get cheques out as quickly as the wheat board can.

May I ask a supplementary question. Is the Canadian Wheat Board closing its books today in so far as the 1966-67 wheat pool is concerned, as previously announced, or is the board asking for additional time as a result of the government's action on Monday?
