Anyway, Minister, I want to thank you for standing up for farmers. Thank you for putting up with this barrage of questioning and having the gumption to see this through. I appreciate that. More importantly, my constituents and farmers appreciate that and want to pat you on the back. They're ready to celebrate once this is done. It'll be a great celebration right across the Prairies, because they have been shackled, jailed, bullied, and targeted. Now all of this is going to come to an end.
It's interesting that when you travel abroad and start talking about the Wheat Board, people go up to you and ask if you really have an entity like that in Canada, of all places. We are definitely righting a wrong that's been in there for way too long, and I commend you for doing that.
Minister, one concern that my constituents and farmers have is that the board of directors of the Canadian Wheat Board seems to have a scorched earth policy of making sure that anything new in this new entity will not survive. They're trying to make sure that it's discredited. They've spread a whole pile of fear that the entity itself will not be capable of working. In fact, they're spending farmers' money right now doing that.
The other concern I have is that they're spending farmers' money in a legal suit against the government, trying to stop the government from moving forward on what farmers really want. Parliament creates a law. Parliament has the right to repeal its laws at its will. Even our colleague, Mr. Martin, would agree with that comment, because he has said that before.
Do the CWB directors' legal challenges pose any risk to the passage of this legislation?
