Right. Well, what we do know is that the Wheat Board made a consistent commitment to Churchill, and not just for the community but also for prairie farmers.
I also want to point out that there was a reference to $14 million for a new airport. The airport in Churchill has been around for many years. The railway also was referred to as being usable in the winter. The railway works year-round. I say this just so that we're clear on some of the details here.
The reality remains that people are feeling extremely uncertain when it comes to their jobs, which they fear will be lost if grain no longer goes through.
We've also heard that, given that Cargill, Viterra, and other corporate entities do not have the infrastructure in Churchill, they will likely stick with where they do have the infrastructure, which is in the other major ports across the country. This, as you can imagine, encourages the feeling of uncertainty that people in Churchill and across the north in Manitoba are facing.
The next question I want to ask, Minister Ritz, is this. You made reference to hearing from farmers. The elected directors, of course, are elected by farmers on the ground. I'd like to know whether you have ever met with the entire board of elected Wheat Board directors?
