I would submit that it shouldn't be up to industry. We need public researchers who aren't just funded by check-offs on the commodities. That's one of the ways that we're becoming less competitive.
I have two more questions. First, with respect to the Canadian Wheat Board in the big global arena, can you explain to the committee the kinds of players that are in the international arena? What do you do to try to maximize returns back to primary producers in this country? We should have a marketing advantage, operating through a single desk.
Next, both the oat growers and the Wheat Board talked about transportation costs. I'm not sure if you were arguing for a costing review, but on this side of the House we believe there needs to be a costing review of the railways. There's no question but that big rail is gouging the farm community, and it has been doing so for about five years.
