Eye on the home possible CWB reforms fall short of freedom
Manitoba farmers lament the Western Grain Marketing Panel recommendations as insufficient to give wheat growers true freedom of choice. The plan would keep the CWB monopoly on most exports while allowing up to 25 percent to be sold on spot markets, and would create a farmer elected board with a government chosen minority, avoiding full privatization. Agriculture Minister Ralph Goodale praises consensus but awaits farmer feedback before presenting legislation aimed for the 1997 98 crop year amid a looming federal election.
