Earlier, Mr. Anderson, you stated that producers wanted freedom of choice. I'd like to come back to a question raised earlier by Mr. Easter. In fact, he has even tabled a motion to that effect in committee. I think the Canadian Wheat Board would agree to the holding of a referendum or plebiscite to decide on a course of action.
As the Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board, and as a member of this government, do you think this is the best way to find out what producers really want? Are you in favour of holding this kind of referendum?
While we're on the subject of producers, I'd like some explanations. Quite understandably, opinion is divided. Perhaps if a referendum or plebiscite were held, the government would have a clear answer.
