Coalition Targets Bill C-4 Over Wheat Board Changes
A coalition of farm and business groups campaigns against Bill C-4 to amend the Canadian Wheat Board Act. They press Wheat Board Minister Ralph Goodale and MPs, arguing the inclusion clause risks investment, trade, and jobs. Archibald says Liberal committee members face pressure to pass the bill, while 12 members groups oppose the inclusion and exclusion clauses and demand marketing choices.
