Mr. Gordon Graydon (Peel):

I should like to ask the Minister of Agriculture if he can give the house any information with respect to a proposed meeting of provincial ministers of agriculture which I understand is being called next week. First of all, have notices gone out calling the ministers in, and, second, what will be on the agenda of that meeting?

Is it the government's policy to stabilize beef prices during the period of the United States embargo, as the minister is reported to have stated to the Kiwanis club of Ottawa the day before yesterday?

What I said to the Kiwanis club in Ottawa the day before yesterday was correct; but it was not necessarily what my hon. friend says it was.

Mr. Argue:

Then, on a question of privilege:

I think it is a well-known practice and an accepted custom that when ministers of the crown are making any statements while parliament is in session, those statements should be made in the house.

Hon. Stuart S. Garson (Minister of Justice):

As yet we have had no occasion to consider the legality of the bans, because they have been under negotiation, as to their expediency, between the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Gardiner) and the various provincial ministers concerned.
