Mr. Speaker, section 17(4) of the Canadian Wheat Board Act states: "It is the duty of the board to exercise direction and supervision over the administrative conduct of an election of members of the advisory committee". Therefore the role of the commissioners is parallel that of Elections Canada in a federal election.
Several commissioners by promoting the point of view of one group of candidates violated the Canadian Wheat Board Act. Will the minister call for the resignation of all commissioners who actively campaigned during the period leading up to the election of the Canadian Wheat Board advisory committee?
