Mr. HOWE:

Oh, yes. When we are talking of 80 cent wheat, I think probably my hon. friend is thinking of 80 cent wheat at Fort William and I am thinking of 80 cent wheat at the plant. As my hon. friend knows, recent prices for wheat have been around $1 Fort William for No. 1 northern, plus the freight to Sarnia, and I presume that the 88 cent alcohol which we bought laid down at Sarnia involved at least a dollar for low grade wheat at the distilleries, plus the freight on the alcohol to Sarnia.
