Mr. Speaker, the organic farmers are not part of that group. They are not represented by it.
The minister should reread his title. He is the minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board. He is responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board Act. He is responsible for its glaring failures.
Arnold Schmidt wants to sell the organic flour he mills from his own grain. If he farmed in Ontario he would have no problem doing that. Because he lives in Saskatchewan the wheat board minister has decided he cannot export his own product.
How can the minister support this unequal and unfair policy that is penalizing development in western Canada?
