Mr. Speaker, yesterday the minister of agriculture defended commissioners of the Canadian Wheat Board by stating that they participated in
public meetings by "discussing a broad variety of aspects pertaining to the marketing of western Canadian grain".
The minister also said: "None of the commissioners were actively involved in any campaign for the advisory committee". It seems curious that the minister did not see the article written by commissioner Richard Klassen in various farm papers promoting not a variety of views but one particular view on the Canadian Wheat Board.
Will the minister review the actions of Mr. Klassen and the other commissioners to see which commissioners violated the stance of political neutrality?
