Mr. Chairman, “impede” is kind of a strong word to address this, because it's sort of a hypothetical situation.
Why don't we have a look at canola and oats processing on the Prairies instead. Both are marketed totally on the open market. Canola has grown to become the largest crop in western Canada now, according to Statistics Canada. It has done so without being marketed by the single desk. It is almost all processed, or much of it is processed. We have two more plants being planned right now, as Bruce indicated. So we can see what kind of processing goes on in canola in western Canada when it's marketed through the open market.
We can also look at what happened with oats after it was removed from the Canadian Wheat Board. Oats processing—and Bruce oversaw a lot of this development, and he might want to comment on this again—increased substantially after it was removed from the jurisdiction of the Canadian Wheat Board.
