To take a minute of Mr. Valeriote's time, Mr. Chair, I think the record should be cleared up in terms of the misinformation that Brian is trying to draw out. I'll go back four years. The contingency fund in 2008 had a $28.9 million deficit. There was a $9.2 million surplus in 2007, a $44.3 million surplus in 2006, and a $48.6 million surplus in 2005.
Mr. Chair, the fact of the matter is this. In terms of receipts and revenue, the revenue for the Canadian Wheat Board was $8.4 billion last year, which was up from $4.9 billion the year before. They recognized they'd beaten all international competitors in terms of prices returned to the farmer. Mr. Chair, they did it at a cost of 9ยข per bushel. I'd say that's pretty good.
