As chair, Mr. Steckle, I try to maintain balance and fairness. I don't take lightly having to reject a recommendation. As you say, we should be the masters of our own destiny, but we do have to work within a certain framework. The legalities that we are forced to work within, that I'm judging this on, is the Canadian Wheat Board Act. You cannot bend or pervert the act in order to somehow think you're saving the act. It's simply not done that way. So that's the basis for the rejection.
The act is very succinct and very clear on who develops the question and who develops the voters list. It's in the act. So that's the reasoning for the legal opinion. I told you that at the steering committee the other day, that at first blush in seeing this motion, I felt it was going against a certain segment of the act. That's the nature of that. You can certainly appeal my ruling.
I have two more speakers lined up. Ken, did you want to get back on the list?
