Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers   rails that the minister has not offered any answers on. How is the grain car allocation going to work to get grain into the ships on time without the Wheat Board? None of those questions have been answered. This closure motion denies the right to have those issues debated

Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act   the parliamentary secretary earlier, is whether there is a choice between single desk and the open market under the new Wheat Board, and we know there is not. The single desk no longer exists. The province of Quebec has two single desk marketing agencies, the maple syrup board and beef, I

Agriculture committee  On a point of order, how are you going to have the Wheat Board if you take the money away--

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Chair. It's always a pleasure. I see you guys are progressing as usual. I guess with the killing of the Wheat Board and supply management being on the table and getting axed, I started looking at the crystal ball of the future of agriculture. It's inevitable

Canadian Wheat Board  Mr. Speaker, there is nothing prudent about what the government is doing. Elected farm directors are abiding by their oath of office.

Bill C-18 committee  , in this new volunteer Canadian Wheat Board...? It's completely voiceless. It's run by a collection of six under express orders that come out of the minister's office through the Governor in Council. My God, you should be ashamed of yourselves. That's all I have to say, Mr. Chair.

Bill C-18 committee  I'll make the point that Mr. Anderson is blatantly wrong. The Canadian Wheat Board produces an annual report, holds district meetings throughout the prairies, and is accountable to producers and has been.

Bill C-18 committee  In clause 9, it says it “is not a Crown corporation”. As I understand it, yes, with a crown corporation the government normally can give direction to it; however, in this bill, this is not a crown corporation, but basically the whole act--the whole Canadian Wheat Board--is going

Fair Representation Act  Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member in terms of the Canadian Wheat Board. The government has not been listening to what our prairie farmers have been saying.
