Hon. Robert Winters (Minister of Trade and Commerce):
This is something we are looking into, Mr. Speaker, and I had discussions on this subject with my officials this morning. This matter has been referred to the proper law authorities of the crown, and I shall be glad to reply more fully to my hon. friend later on. If parliament is not sitting at the time I will be glad to write him.

Mr. Winters:
The average final payment for wheat other than Durum is a record 49.759
cents per bushel. The average final payment for Durum wheat is 63.323 cents per bushel. The over-all average of 50.270 cents per bushel is the largest average final payment in the history of the Canadian Wheat Board. The wheat board will begin mailing the final payment cheques tomorrow.

Mr. Winters:
Mr. Speaker, I think the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs could perhaps amplify on what has been said.
Subtopic: WORK PERMITS TO U.S. CITIZENS OPERATING MEAT STORES
March 27, 1968
Hon. Robert Winters (Minister of Trade and Commerce):
Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a statement regarding the final payment on wheat for the crop year ending July 31, 1967.
Producers delivered a record total of 626,533,860 bushels of wheat to the Canadian Wheat Board in the 1966-67 crop year, including 23,599,710 bushels of Durum wheat. The pool account for wheat was closed on February 29.
The amount of the final payment to be distributed to producers is an unprecedented $314,958,251, including $14,943,967 to be distributed to producers who delivered Durum wheat. Thus the previous record payment of $272 million, which was made on the 1963-64 pool account, has been surpassed by $43 million.

Mr. Winters:
One has to make his own breaks.
