Thank you.
One of the things I have to say clearly is that if there were a clear, straightforward, honest question about the Canadian Wheat Board--do you want single-desk selling of the Canadian Wheat Board or not?--and 67% of the people in my province or the western Canadian farmers said they didn't, I would live with that, and I would work with the department and the agricultural organizations to try to build the best system we could possibly have that would maximize returns to producers, that would be progressive, and that would allow us to build a strong agricultural future.
That's the focus. Today you are asking about numbers. I have major farm groups that have very clearly identified what their wishes are. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities put forward a resolution at their last meeting. Eighty-five per cent of the people supported the resolution to maintain the Canadian Wheat Board. APAS, SARM, the National Farmers Union, Wild Rose Agricultural Producers from Alberta, and Keystone Agricultural Producers from Manitoba are all standing together and saying they want a good strong progressive future, but they want to have this Canadian Wheat Board as a single-desk seller. At the very least, we want to have a clear and honest plebiscite question.
