Mr. Speaker, as I informed the House yesterday, the Canadian Wheat Board has already lost at least one sale of $9 million. Other customers are saying that because of their hesitancy and their confidence in the reliability of supply that they do not even want to talk. Farmers have taken enough of a blow to their incomes because of export subsidies in other countries and international prices.
We ask the workers to come back to the bargaining table, to do the right thing, bargain in the reality of today and get the grain moving for the benefit of the whole industry.
