Yes, thank you.
I wonder, on that point, if Mr. Anderson would.... I know for a fact that the Government of Canada, in its initial draft of the Accountability Act, did not put in that the Canadian Wheat Board should operate under access to information. In fact, the legal opinion to the Government of Canada was that the Wheat Board should not have to abide by the Access to Information Act because it is not a government entity, not a government agency.
I wonder if Mr. Anderson, seeing as he is parliamentary secretary, could table that legal opinion with us.
Mr. Anderson knows full well that the way the Access to Information Act got applied to the Canadian Wheat Board was that there was a motion by a member at committee--not on the government side, but from Winnipeg Centre, I believe--to put it under.... That individual has since reconsidered their position, and in fact voted to take that part out of the bill. The Senate has now changed it.
As well, I understand that Mr. Anderson has presented a letter to the chair of the Senate committee, Senator Day. From what I heard about the letter, it was very misleading in terms of what the Wheat Board does. It's the most transparent grain company out there.
So I wonder if he might table a copy of that letter with the committee as well so that we could have a look at what the parliamentary secretary said to the Senate in terms of the bill.
