Thank you, Mr. Minister, for being here.
Over the past few months we've been asking whether there will be a vote on the future of the Wheat Board. The response has been that there was the election, and that's our mandate, and that the policy is marketing choice. The report you just put out addresses that, obviously.
Today you mentioned a plebiscite on barley. I'm not sure how this fits in with the report, because it's my understanding that there's no need for a plebiscite, and that the marketing choice will be there. That's my first question: where does this fit into the scheme of things? Is it in fact a plebiscite, and should we stay with single marketing or not? If there's a vote to stay with single marketing, how does that tie in with the report that's just come out? Another question is where wheat fits into this.
Maybe I'll stop there for now.
