Thank you.
My question is for Mr. Meredith.
Economic conditions can at times favour the free market but only for short periods. The Canadian Wheat Board ensures the long-term stability that is necessary to the survival of this economic sector that is crucial to this area of the country.
What is the ideological basis, the economic doctrine behind the progressive dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board, when we know full well that the new directors will be appointed by the minister, and the board's business plan will be approved by him also?
