Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I understand your question, or your proposition, you're sort of leading down the path of provincially run collective marketing agencies on behalf of the producers, and what you're doing is starting to go down that continuum of more and more and more sellers. Rather than having only one seller, say, in the Wheat Board region, you might have three or four if you include B.C. and Peace River. You'd have one in Manitoba, one in Saskatchewan, a different one in Alberta, a different one in Peace River and B.C. So now you've split the market up so you have four sellers all competing against one another instead of only one.
I would suggest that probably the creators of the Wheat Board and the original farmers who pushed to have this thought about that and recognized it wouldn't be as good as having one region in western Canada.
