I always have a smile on my face at committee.
When we moved to eliminate the single desk, we had two objectives in mind. One, obviously, was marketing freedom for grain farmers in the west, but the other was to establish a viable Wheat Board that would continue to provide choice for farmers. That $3 million is part of that policy decision. Basically, we've said that any financial implication for the CWB that arose from removing the single desk would be the responsibility of the government, and the operations of the CWB would be their responsibility. That particular $3 million goes to the legacy pension obligations that the CWB has to its former employees.
In terms of how marketing freedom is going, I think the minister's comments dealt with how they're starting to develop a fully articulated strategy for originating grain and moving it to the ports. They have water access on the Great Lakes and in the St. Lawrence. They have inland terminals that they've purchased through Prairie West Terminal. They have four new terminals that they've established and are already being built. What this will do is offer greater choice to farmers, and it will increase competition for farmers' grain across the prairies.
