Dear Vader;
I this a very interesting issue... thanks for offering you thoughts:
1. Pedigreed Seed for planting purposes gets a 'No Cost' export license... Common Seed graded by exactly the seeds Act... for planting... must pay the 'Buy Back'.
2. Manufactured Feed made out of 100% wheat and barley get a no-cost export license... feed barley and wheat must pay the 'buy-back.
3. Organic Wheat and barley used for human consumption... pays $3.32/t for an export license... while at the same time the CWB asked me for over $500/t.
Vader, 20 years ago... before Goodale and the fusarium problem in Manitoba embarrassed the Prairie Pools (CDN Fusarium infested wheat was worth more in the US than the CWB and Pools paid for top quality milling wheat)... we as 'designated area' growers were allowed to export... without buybacks to the CWB...
Nothing in the CWB Act has changed... other than Goodale telling us to report to Customs in his 1996 Order in Council...30 minutes after the Court of Queens Bench decision wherein Justice Keyser dismissed the Crown's appeal attempting to overturn the acquittal of David Sawatzky. Justice Keyser concluded that, "David Sawatzky was not required to provide an export license to the Chief Officer of Customs, as charged."
But we know Vader...
that you know all of this...
And that B.C., Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada wheat and barley growers are 'special'... and deserve unrestricted access to international markets...
While the very farmers the CWB is supposed to extract a premium for... are denied export licenses or charged an absurd sum that assures the business could never be done from a rational economic standpoint.
Vader... that you continue to defend the absurd 'buy-back' policy the CWB puts forward as: Just and Ethical... Moral and Fair... is truly fascinating!
DO you?
Why did you release Organic wheat and barley... if you actually believed what you are preaching?
