Mr. Chair, in response to the witness, we have an order in council now that may or may not cover the kind of answer I'm going to give. But let me just answer that I can speak from my heart here on this matter.
This is an issue that farmers understand, sir. They all know what their business interests are. We have director elections that determine which position is the accurate one and which position they want to see come about.
The interesting thing is that a large part of the Battlefords—Lloydminster constituency is now voting in a director election, the outcome of which we will know on Sunday evening. Cypress Hills—Grasslands is a large part of the vote.
Farmers know their business needs. They know what the CWB is about. They make an assessment on that very question that you are asking. We have said as a board, time and time again, that we will always follow the will of what farmers say, what they want us to do, and certainly what they understand is in their best business interest.
