Mr. S. J. Korchinski (Mackenzie):

Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Agriculture. Will one of the responsibilities of the grains council be to look into and possibly recommend the growing of low quality, high yield grains?

Order, please. I regret that the hon. member for Hamilton West cannot ask his question now because there are a number of supplementaries.

Mr. Korchinski:

Mr. Speaker, in view of the statement by Mr. Shuttleworth of the Board of Grain Commissioners that the regulations might be relaxed, is the government in fact planning to relax the regulations pertaining to grades of grain that have not until now been allowed in Canada?

Mr. Olson:

Mr. Speaker, that statement is also related to the relaxation of the rules so we could allow some farmers in the maritime provinces to try a new variety of grain called "Opal". But we have reason to believe that there is very little or no possibility of this grain degrading the high quality standards that we have in western Canada. I am sure that Mr. Shuttleworth's statement was related to that matter.

HAMILTON, ONT.-HEARING OF BRIEFS BY TASK FORCE


On the orders of the day:


PC

Lincoln MacCauley Alexander

Progressive Conservative

Mr. Lincoln M. Alexander (Hamilton West):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to thank hon. members for their concern. I would just like to say, with great respect, that a note was passed to me yesterday in appreciation of my efforts to draw Mr. Speaker's attention to myself. The note said that if I continued these efforts much further I would lose ten pounds, and I do not think I can afford to do that.

My question is directed to the Minister of Transport, but I believe this is his day off.

Mr. Alexander:

I see that the Acting

Minister of Transport is here, the Minister without Portfolio. In view of the representations that have been made by many people in Ontario who are doubtful about what is happening with the housing task force, I ask the minister whether the task force intends to attend Hamilton to hear briefs on housing and, if so, when?

Mr. Speaker, the schedule of the task force hearings has been made public. I do not know whether there is a specific date for Hamilton. I do not believe there is. But I will be pleased to relay the hon. member's

Mr. Alexander:

May I rephrase my question, Mr. Speaker? Because of the peculiar situation of Hamilton in terms of its population and because of the uniqueness of the area, would the minister consider revising the itinerary in order that Hamilton may be placed thereon and briefs may be submitted to the task force? I believe the type of briefs submitted would be of help to the task force.
