Thank you.
We just went through an interesting discussion in the House of Commons on softwood lumber—I'm a little bit off track here—and the NDP opposed the softwood lumber agreement because they felt that it was shipping raw product out of the country and wasn't adding value and creating jobs here in Canada.
Do you feel that in its current state, the Wheat Board is impeding value-added activities in the prairie region? In Ontario, 115% of their wheat crop is getting processed in the province now. That's not the case in western Canada, where it's well under 10%.
I want to get some comments on that, because as many of my farmers do, I really see more value-added opportunities on agriculture products in the future within the prairie region, and the Wheat Board probably has a major role to play in helping to develop that industry.
