Mr. Speaker, I am following this debate closely. I represent a riding in Ontario, so it is not directly affected.
I appreciate the views and speeches by members of Parliament who represent western farmers. I think there is some confusion. The opposition parties are saying that the bill kills the Canadian Wheat Board. I thought the bill was about providing choice and options as to whether or not farmers would like to continue to participate in a wheat board or whether they would like to market their grain on their own.
Could the member explain whether or not the bill actually kills the Wheat Board, or whether it simply provides choice for farmers?
