All right, and I will be brief and concise.
Mr. Hoback raised the issue of ideology. I always believed that this was an organization controlled and paid for by farmers and that they should be the ones who decide its future. When I spoke to farmers this summer all across the Prairies, I was very straight with them. Whatever the majority of farmers voted in regard to changes to the Canadian Wheat Board, I, as chair of the board, would do.
Let me finish.
I challenged the minister on many occasions and I'm challenging you, Mr. Hoback, right now. Obey the law. Have a plebiscite among farmers and settle this issue the right way. If I'm willing to abide by the results, you should be willing to do the same.
