If you listened to producers, Mr. Bezan, producers across the country have been calling on your government to give them a plebiscite. We have clearly said we want the federal government to call a plebiscite with a true, meaningful question. If you won't put that question to the producers, we will give the Manitoba producers a choice. This is not the first time it has happened. Alberta held a vote, Manitoba held a vote on the Wheat Board in the fifties, and they're prepared to do it again if you won't.
On October 25th, 2006. See this statement in context.
