You are right, we have announced that we really want the federal government to hold a plebiscite, because we think they have that responsibility under the act and it should be held. But we have said that if the federal government will not do it, then we will give a voice to Manitoba producers and we will look at how we can have a plebiscite to give producers a voice.
You raised the issue of supply management and orderly marketing. People can say they aren't tied, but in reality they are. Both supply management and the Canadian Wheat Board involve compulsory marketing of their commodities through an orderly marketing system, and they work for the benefit of their producers.
I really believe that a philosophy that attacks the Canadian Wheat Board also attacks all orderly marketing systems, such as supply management. This is a time when we've just come through failed WTO talks. When we were there, when Canada was there, we were defending supply management and defending the Canadian Wheat Board. Those talks failed, and if the first step that the federal government takes is to attack the Wheat Board, it sends a very dangerous signal to our competitors around the world.
