Sir HENRY DRAYTON:
Well, I would
say this, that now when the Ontario farmer is finding it hard to make ends meet is the worst possible time to remove this bounty. I have never been so much in favour of bounties ms'self; I support another kind of fiscal policy rather than the granting of bounties, as my hon. friend knows. But here is a system which was inaugurated by the present Minister of Finance (Right Hon. Mr. Fielding) and it is now proposed to strangle that gentleman's economic offspring.
