There are the two sections of the Canadian Wheat Board’s Code of Conduct and Conflict of Interest Guidelines that director Jim Chatenay says he can’t abide by:
Section III, part A (i): “A director must act in the best interests of CWB … a director should not be acting in the best interests of some special interest group or constituency.”
Section IV, part vi: “It is recognized that directors are elected to the board as representatives of a region. Directors, however, continue to hold the same duties to the CWB, even when those duties conflict with the wishes of the region from which they are elected. Directors must understand that their primary duty is to act in the best interests of the CWB.”
The full text of the code is available at the wheat board’s website at www.cwb.ca.
