Thank you for being here, gentlemen.
Many farmers are concerned about the loss of the Canadian Wheat Board as a single desk. They feel that by changing it to be another small grain company it won't be a major player on the world stage, and this will take market power away from the farmers. That's one point of view.
At this committee's meeting, some stakeholders have claimed that companies would be in a good position if the CWB lost its influence over grain transportation. How would you respond to such a statement? In your opinion, what leads some people in the community to make such comments?
Maybe I can get an answer from all of you, please.
