Thank you, Mr. Bellavance.
The mandate I was given when I was first hired--and this was included in the appointment letter that appointed me for a 90-day period--was to focus on the marketing of producers' grain from western Canada and to refrain from participating in the public debate, either for or against the Canadian Wheat Board mandate.
My mandate is to run the business. I think that's the same mandate I had when I was first appointed by Mr. Goodale a number of years ago. I was hired as a CEO who had experience in the business, who understood the business. That's the mandate I have accepted, and that is what I have focused on. I have visited with customers. I have met with the grain industry. I have really focused on the business, and as I said in my opening remarks, I have not entered into the debate about the mandate of the board. I believe that's an issue that should be resolved by farmers, and ultimately by the government.
