39. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will initiate an inquiry into the agricultural industry, in view of the heavy 'cost of the industry to the taxpayer.

No. Proposals are already under consideration to bring the cost of agricultural support under more effective control, while still ensuring proper opportunities and a fair standard of living for the agricultural community.
