Mr. Speaker, the minister is doing the right thing for farmers. It was another area where farmers actually had some choice.
The best they can do under the Canadian Wheat Board, with regard to wheat, is to get producer daily price contracts. Yesterday, 650,000 tonnes of that grain came onto the market for farmers. In an hour and a half they took up every option on the 650,000 tonnes. It is the only small way that they have to respond to the market, in terms of their wheat production.
The minister has moved to protect western Canadian farmers. He will do more on August 1, and our producers look forward to that day.
