Mr. Speaker, the government continues its unprecedented, unethical and undemocratic moves against the Canadian Wheat Board.
The minister's letter, a prelude to the firing of the CEO of the board, is in essence a hostile takeover of the farmers' marketing agency by the Government of Canada. As one editorial stated, this is “an action one” would “expect...of a dictatorial or socialist regime”. I would compare it to a Stalinist purge.
Will the minister cease his intimidation tactics and rescind his disgraceful letter?
