Will note the CWB board of directors has likely recognized the need for changes in the current act that governs it. Areas like setting initial payments, management of and dollars allowed in the PPO contingency fund, ability to invest in other alternatives, etc, are opportunities that could be updated in the new CWB Act.

Perhaps the challenge even for single desk supporters is to understand the current CWB act and know what you would like in the new one. All the documents above are for 2006 - I guess crisis and not forward planning is the driver of change.

In response to Charliep...My vision of a post Aug 2012 CWB is an empty building in Winnipeg with the windows and doors left open and random papers blowing down the hallways-papers which once were important now irrelevant.The scene will remind us of the day the world found out about Enron.I know it sounds dramatic but it's time we put this great experiment behind us and move on.
