Social Credit amends budget motion over Wheat Board sales
In Ottawa the Social Credit party proposed a sub amendment to the budget motion regretting the government for denying Western farmers the right to sell wheat to the Wheat Board unless prices fall below 90 cents. John Blackmore argued the move robs Western farmers of purchasing power and would boost national trade and revenues if reversed. The House debated whether the motion stands as a sub amendment or an independent amendment, with cross party support expected.
