I've had first-hand experience in dealing with the railways. We have a large volume—3,500 cars a year. Even with that kind of volume, we sometimes have a difficult time with the ins and outs of dealing with the railways. You have to remember this. Oftentimes they try to say that producer cars have nothing to do with the Canadian Wheat Board, that they have to do with the Canadian Grain Commission. That is untrue. I will tell you why. Don't forget, somewhere, somehow you have to have an actual car allocated to you. The Canadian Wheat Board controls the pool of cars. Without the Canadian Wheat Board, it's highly unlikely that we would be able to access cars as we do now.
I want to make a comment. I had a chance to read the report as in-flight reading. I gave it the benefit of the doubt. I'm a person driven by practical experience and pragmatism—not philosophy or ideology. I come from an area that is a bastion of right-wing thinking, rather than left-wing thinking. Just for the record, that's Mr. Anderson's backyard.
I was waiting to see how we were going to have a viable Wheat Board, and we're not. The truth of the matter is that they're going to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board and essentially create another grain company, the Canadian wheat pool, if you will. As we know it today, it is not the Canadian Wheat Board with the influence that it has in the grain transportation and handling system. It simply is not.
