In my opinion, it’s impossible for us to analyze each and every allegation that we hear, except that, in the case mentioned by M. Easter, there is concrete evidence, that is, the e-mail that was sent. To repeat what my colleague Jean Yves said earlier concerning transparency, I fear that there is a clear link between a member of the committee created by the Minister and this person.
Whether we receive letters that are favourable to the Canadian Wheat Board or not is not unusual. I think that we receive many letters concerning each file, as well as e-mails and postcards. Everyone does this with his or her member of Parliament, it’s quite normal. However, in this particular case, something smells rotten.
I think we should have the opportunity to hear this woman. However, I am worried about the committee’s schedule. We had agreed to speak to the Canadian Wheat Board quite soon. As far as I’m concerned, we could invite this person. If Mr. Anderson has more than only allegations concerning the Canadian Wheat Board, we will be able to ask the representatives of the Canadian Wheat Board, when come to meet us, if they adopted a system with people who falsely signed or did something. I am not the one who alleges this; this is what I just heard. It might therefore be appropriate at this time while we are discussing this subject to summon this person.
