I call Bullshit Tom,
Contract millions of tonnes of feed wheat and barley in the spring. How much of Canada's wheat graded feed last year. 90% of the crop was #1.
And how much of the barley was offered to the board two years ago when Lethbridge was the highest price market on the planet? 50,000 tonnes!
There are always market fluctuations and volatility. If the CWB took a position and was unable to fill it in the fall who takes the hit? Can you imagine what people like yourself would say if the CWB lost millions of dollars because of a bad bet? The CWB would be crucified and that would be the end. Is that what you really want Tom? The end of the CWB?
There seems to be little difference between those who clearly want to see the complete demise of the CWB and those who purport to want more "freedom" for themselves and say the CWB should be maintained for "those who want it".
Show us your true colors Tom.
Tell us exactly what program changes you would make if you get elected and what impact that would have on the CWB and on the people who wish to continue doing business with the CWB.
Lay out your plan in detail. What would you do with the following:
- pooling
- pricing options
- legislative changes to the CWB Act
- corporate structure
- elections of directors
- government guarantees
- single desk mandate
- contingency fund
- establishment of a capital base
- investment in value added processing in Canada and/or offshore
- investment in grain handling
- agricultural business ventures
- producer cars
- communications
- accountability
- grain marketing
- market development
- varietal ownership
- support for CIGI
- support for CGC
- support for WGRF
- support for GMO
- strategic alliances
- rail competition
- corporate consolidation
Tom, tell us how they all fit together and how they will meet your objective, whether that be to strengthen the CWB or to destroy it.
