There are a number of points there, Mr. Chair.
First and foremost, the Wheat Board is not going anywhere. It will still be there. It will still be at the same address in Winnipeg, and it will still be handling western Canadian farmers' wheat, durum and barley—but now they're going to have to earn it. They're going to have to prove that there is a price premium, which none of us who have actually farmed in that area have ever been able to peg down.
I happened to hear former director Henry Vos saying that he'd actually looked at the numbers inside the board--and he didn't point to it, because he can't as a former director--but could never find that premium either. As for the farmers in the U.S. the member spoke about, I've actually chatted with farmers who farm both sides of the border. When your field goes across, it really doesn't matter that the 49th parallel is in the middle of your 160-acre field. Those farmers who farm both sides consistently say—and there were articles on this in The Western Producer a short time ago--they have never seen an instance where they didn't make more money on their U.S. product than their Canadian product.
There have been studies done to death. I was watching the proceedings here, and Mr. Anderson named a number of studies this evening that show there has been no cost benefit. The problem is, though--
