I think Dr. Winn has very accurately portrayed the reasons for the changes to the commission. These changes are absolutely necessary in order to allow Canada to be competitive in a rapidly changing market. Those changes are independent of other changes that might happen to the marketing system. They need to be made in order to allow the Canadian grain industry to be competitive. I don't believe they should be considered as deregulation; they're modernization of the institution.
