"The legislation to end the Canadian Wheat Board's single desk has now passed both the House of Commons and the Senate.

Senators voted 51-33 in favour Bill C-18 late Thursday afternoon, despite the outstanding legal challenge surrounding the bill.

The bill now goes to the Governor General for Royal Assent.

The Canadian Wheat Board is filing an application for an injunction to prevent the legislation from coming into force until the court has decided on the validity of the bill.

Last week, a federal court judge ruled that federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz breached the CWB Act by introducing the legislation without consulting producers.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's governor general gave royal assent on
Thursday to a bill stripping the Canadian Wheat Board of its grain monopoly,
making the bill law.

The Wheat Board will lose its monopoly over western wheat and barley for
milling or export next August, however, the board is challenging the law in
court.

The "Stop The SteamRoller" facebook page of oppression must be having conniptions.

By the way, don’t bother trying to post there. You can see your own post, but no one else can. It’s an “open” discussion if you agree with them, otherwise it’s off to the penalty box with you.
