If it really is a matter of choice, why do those grain producers not
use the buyback clause available to them under the rules of the Canadian
Wheat Board? That way they could sell to anyone they chose. Why is it
necessary to destroy the board that the majority of farmers want and
need?
The wheat board is responsible for keeping the prices and quality
high; that is why our grain customers trust the wheat board. Therefore,
it would appear that there is some other reason for the federal
government taking such drastic measures. The only ones to benefit would
be the companies who would set the price farmers receive, and the
overseas customers who might pay less for our wheat, if the companies
were not too greedy.
