The Canadian Wheat Board operates exclusively in the west. There are also some things that are done exclusively in Quebec, and they are excellent.
I was taken aback to hear Mr. Tweed state that he was surprised to see members on this side defending activities that are taking place in the west. I often see that government meddling in sectors that come under provincial jurisdiction. I don't understand how he can be offended this morning by our questioning a board that is active in the west.
When you were appointed, was your real mandate to undermine the Canadian Wheat Board?
