Mr. Speaker, results of the Alberta plebiscite on wheat and barley marketing are crystal clear. Two-thirds of Alberta producers voted in favour of having a dual marketing system, with the freedom to choose to market through the Canadian Wheat Board or outside of the board.
Would the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell the House if he agrees with the majority of Alberta farmers that choice for marketing of wheat and barley is a step forward? A yes or no answer would be appreciated.
