Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Wheat Board is highly respected and supported by western Canadian farmers.
There is a process in which the Canadian Wheat Board Act can be not applied. It requires a plebiscite of western Canadian farmers and a recommendation of the board of directors, two-thirds of which are western Canadian grain farmers.
I would also advise that in 1998 the government tried to change the rules to facilitate precisely what the opposition is asking for and they denied it.
