If I might say so, Mr. Chair, that is extremely worrisome because, as Mr. Martin pointed out earlier, there is a lot of concern about how rapidly this is going through, and this is one of the key points. There's a fear among those--the 62%--who support the current single-desk selling that the new board may operate very differently. It may operate in the self-interests of a few individuals or a few grain companies. How is the government going to protect against that?
I was in Winnipeg last Friday, and what we're really seeing here, with this bill, is an expropriation of farm assets by the government. There has to be some way, for heaven's sake, to protect against a conflict of interest for somebody who may be working for Viterra or Archer Daniels Midland or Cargill in regard to basically using this corporation for either their self-interest or another company's self-interest. We're talking about the grain trade here.
