Supreme Court won t hear Wheat Board appeal
The Supreme Court refused to hear a Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board bid to challenge Ottawa over billions in losses after the monopoly was removed. The group will keep pursuing a claim for misallocated funds in 2011 12 while the broader suit ends. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz framed the ruling as upholding marketing freedom as the law. The government plans to privatize the Wheat Board by a 2017 deadline. The group cites a 2014 15 price spread that it says cost western farmers about 3 billion dollars.
