Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of Agriculture, in a set up question, attempted to mislead Canadians on the results of a Canadian Wheat Board survey that was not officially released until today. In fact, the pollster determined that farmers were evenly split on the marketing options but the minister attempted to portray otherwise.
However, farmers were clear. Seventy-seven per cent said that the elected board of directors, not the government, should determine their future.
How many times do western Canadian farmers need to tell the government that farmers themselves should decide their future?
