The directors of the CWB themselves were in charge of the endgame. They hired the audit firm Deloitte, as well as a legal team, to ascertain which was the right partner moving forward.
They had some 52 different entities put forward ideas, including the Farmers of North America. The unfortunate part with the FNA proposal was that it didn't come with any dollars or any kind of plan attached. What they were shopping for in the outline they put forward was someone who had the ability to capitalize and the logistics capacity and the ability to expand the footprint of the CWB across Canada, not just in western Canada anymore, as well as the ability to build port capacity on both the east and the west coasts.
