Mr. Chair, the minister was clear in the House that the government had nothing to do with contacting this person or influencing her choice of email. She's a private businessperson. We can't explore every email that's sent in this country. I don't think we have time to take a look at this. If we're going to study it, however, I think we should insist on doing it on a broader scale. We're getting a lot of emails from organizations—I know of one that seems to be sending several each night from the same fax number. We would be well advised to make sure that those faxes are written by the authors and represent their position accurately.
A number of farmers have asked me to explore whether the Canadian Wheat Board has the ability to write letters, send them out from a database, and have other people sign for them. That's something we should probably take a look at.
Another question that's been raised with us is that some of our people had information and marketing reps from the Wheat Board phoning and inviting them to a meeting on Monday in Saskatoon. Coincidentally, on Monday in Saskatoon there was a group formed to support the board—single-desk position. Maybe we need to take a look at whether the board's been politically involved in this issue and whether they're spending farmers' money on it.
We'd also need to look at the databases accessed to contact those farmers—whether permit book numbers have been used and whether this is a violation of the Canadian Wheat Board Act. If we're going to go into it, we ought to explore it on a much wider basis.
