Mr. Chair, I'm going to the justification for the changing of the board of directors and why it needed to happen quickly in order to ensure that the farmers had an entity they could actually use going forward. Apparently the existing board is communicating to farmers that this entity has no chance of survival, and they have already written it off. That type of communication is having a damaging effect on the marketplace for the new entity as it moves forward.
As far as fiduciary duty goes, the board has a fiduciary duty to the corporation. But the corporation is being handed a new change, and now it has a fiduciary duty to make sure the corporation and its employees can move forward, and I feel it's not performing that fiduciary duty.
So again, I go back to my question. Were they cooperative? And if they weren't cooperative, give us some insight into how that worked.
