Mr. Speaker, if I may be so bold concerning plebiscites, having served as a mayor of a community for many years I have had great concerns about engaging in the plebiscite game. Once you start, where do you stop?
In terms of elected representation, I have no problem if the farm community feels that is the most applicable means of putting a knowledgeable board in place. I sense that the majority of appointed commissioners have a very strong agricultural background that makes them very effective.
In terms of whether elected they could do a better job, I do not feel I can evaluate that kind of question.
