The connection that I would make, Joy and Hedy and Nicole, is that the power in the marketplace comes from collective activity. We've seen that in the corporatization of the industry. We've seen that in the concentration of the grain handling industry. If it works for corporations and grain handlers to work collectively and to work in an organized fashion, it works for farmers too. The Canadian Wheat Board and supply management is the farmers' initiative to organize themselves collectively in the marketplace and get the best possible return.
Yes, there are occasional spikes in grain prices, and depending on where you live--proximity to the American border--that does play a factor. But the fact that 86% of those farmers who voted want a board, or some version of it, that gives them the best return, that goes right to the heart of the economic viability of those western rural families.
