Agriculture committee  Alberta can have a plebiscite if they want to. But I want a plebiscite for all producers across the country.

Agriculture committee  We will develop our own voters list.

Agriculture committee  We have lists of producers in the province, and we will be using our own lists. We will not be using the Wheat Board list.

Agriculture committee  We're looking at the details right now. What we want to do is give a voice to grain and barley producers in the province.

Agriculture committee  No.

Agriculture committee  You are right, we have announced that we really want the federal government to hold a plebiscite, because we think they have that responsibility under the act and it should be held. But we have said that if the federal government will not do it, then we will give a voice to Manitoba producers and we will look at how we can have a plebiscite to give producers a voice.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much. I want to take a couple of minutes as well. We talk about the Canadian Wheat Board as if there's some great monster out there. The Canadian Wheat Board is the producers. It is the producers who are the monopoly, and they are the ones who benefit from the Canadian Wheat Board.

Agriculture committee  Good afternoon, and thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to speak on behalf of the producers of Manitoba, and to tell you why the Manitoba government is absolutely opposed to the elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board single-desk selling mandate by the federal government.
