Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a comment that may be helpful for members' understanding of the dynamic at play.
The question that was asked whether farmers could have had a choice? I'm a commercial operator. Frankly, I have no interest in this government grain marketing organization; I have no interest in any subsequent organization. My interest was in the single desk. Ultimately, I expect my elected directors to do what they can to defend that $400 million to $600 million. Relative to the value the government is talking about taking out of the till, it's a small cost. They have a fiduciary obligation to me, the shareholder, on that.
So it's important to note as if freedom is being created, but that the freedom to have the single desk is being taken away.
