Mr. J. H. BLACKMORE (Lethbridge):

I should like to address a question to the Minister of Agriculture. Has the minister received communications from western Canadian beef producers and feeders that prices for finished beef are falling, apparently owing to the meat packing companies' lack of interest in bidding for finished beef? Secondly, will the minister tell the house what measures he proposes to take to protect beef feeders from losses on their 1947-48 operations, and thus to safeguard beef supplies for Canadian consumers for the year 1949?
