Grain justice sought challenges Canadian Wheat Board monopoly
Farmers for Justice filed a notice of motion in Federal Court for judicial review contending the board has a dual identity as a federal regulator and a marketing corporation. Backed by Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association and others, the move could strip the board of federal status while allowing voluntary grain marketing. Alberta farmers planned a plebiscite this fall to influence the board’s future. Wayne Kriz said the minister would decide next week, while Will Van Roessel supported voluntary participation in the Wheat Board.
