64. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Minister of Food whether, in view of the ever-increasing uncertainty in the minds of many farmers and horticulturists throughout the country as regards the future of the home market for some types of vegetables which can be produced in great abundance in our own country, he will, after conferring with the Minister of Agriculture, give a specific assurance that the prior place in the home market will be made available for the home producer.
§ Dr. SummerskillHome producers already supply nearly 90 per cent. of this country's vegetable consumption. Therefore, I see no reason why any such assurances should be expected.
