Farmers weigh in as Grain Stabilization Act stalls
An editor letter from Erickson criticizes the NDP and PC filibuster that halted the Grain Stabilization Act. The writer cites a proposed $100 million package, immediate $15,900 owed under the Wheat Reserves Act, and potential $70,000 if the bill had passed. The piece questions party actions and asks whether MPs would have acted differently.
