"CWB versus Attorney General Canada re: advocacy and CEO compensation
The Federal Court of Canada has overturned the Government of Canada’s advocacy directive. The Order in Council (OIC), issued in December 2006, prevented the CWB from spending money to advocate retention of the single desk.
The federal court issued its ruling June 19, 2008. Mr. Justice Roger Hughes said the government’s directive was issued for an improper purpose and that that it contravenes the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He said the CWB’s board of directors, not the government, is responsible for overseeing the expenditures of the organization." - CWB

So there you have it as quoted from the CWB site.
Harper's government stymied again in its heavy-handed approach to CWB reform.
