Mr. Chair, I would just like to say that it's a very difficult time for farmers. The least they should be able to have is a say in this new entity, whatever it is. What we're doing is taking the power away from them. The government should at least have the decency to allow them to choose their directors however they see fit. Obviously, 15 would seem to be a good number to keep some democracy in the Wheat Board.
