April 21, 1926 (15th Parliament, 1st Session)

Mr. SPENCE (Maple Creek):

I am discussing the raw materials that enter into the finished product of the farm. The manufacturers want their raw materials free. Now, I will ask the hon. member when he addresses the House to define the term "raw material.'' Just what does he understand raw material to mean? What is one man's finished product is another man's raw material, so that the binders, ploughs, wagons and even motor trucks and motor vehicles which the farmer requires are to him only raw materials.
