Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
In my riding of Peace River some farmers have diversified and are now growing organically grown wheat. This is a special-
ty product which the Canadian Wheat Board simply cannot handle. Organic farmers have had to find their own markets, yet the wheat board insists these farmers go through all its costly red tape.
The fine for bypassing the Canadian Wheat Board on this issue is $12,000 and two years in jail.
Will the minister allow organic farmers to sell their product without jumping through all the wheat board hoops necessary?
