Well, that is the Wheat Board's assessment. Unfortunately, in the wheat trades, they only have 14.5%. Actually, the Informa research document that came out last year shows that the only countries we influence market power in are countries such as Colombia, Ghana, Guatemala, and Venezuela. It doesn't seem as though we're getting a lot of premium.
As for barley, it's even less; of the top 20 barley global marketing countries in the world to which we export, we have no actual influence over those markets through the Canadian Wheat Board, because they're exercising less than 11% marketing influence.
Would you disagree with these numbers, or would you stick with the idea that a cooperative is the way to go?
