James Garfield Gardiner (Minister of Agriculture)

Liberal

Mr. Gardiner:

Mr. Speaker, might I ask the hon. member to allow this question to be dropped, on the understanding that I will give him the full information that is asked for? I do not think it is fair to these people to print that information and to display it to the public in general, but I think it is all right for members to have it and to use it freely.
