This is where the rubber hits the road, Elwin. As I said earlier, qualifications are one thing. I think it's right and proper for you to give information to the minister straight up front, but as you said in your remarks, “loyally implement ministerial decisions, lawfully taken”. Bill C-39 is not lawfully taken as yet. It's a ministerial government position; it's not the law under the act that you're to operate under.
My concern is not necessarily about qualifications, but where does your responsibility really lie as chair of the Canadian Grain Commission? I believe the chair said you'd be welcome to come back here as chair of the Canadian Grain Commission. But will you be speaking for the Canadian Grain Commission or the minister? The op-ed piece on Bill C-39 leads me to believe you would be a mouthpiece for the minister, to be blunt about it. That's a serious problem for us.
