Instead of the smoke and mirrors of a false debate, of a phoney debate about a preamble that has no force or about accountability that cannot exist, we are talking about a government board that has producers on it. It is accountable in the traditional way that government bodies are accountable. They are accountable to their elected representatives who are represented in turn by the minister.
He, in his wisdom, has set up a board which does have composition with farmers. That is the real debate. If the members of the opposition really want to do something constructive, then by all means they should have a debate that criticizes clauses in the bill.
It is the clauses in the bill that will be ruled on by the courts which actually govern how the bill will operate. Please, a debate about a preamble that everyone knows is meaningless is not really a serious debate at all.
