To all on this thread:

Did anyone see the interview on CBC newsworld this afternoon.
First they interviewed Adrian Measoner,then Chuck Strahl.
What did you think?

CEO Measner left the public with the impression that the CWB is run by farmers and not the Government?minister.

He needs to read the Act that governs what he can and cannot do because Sections 3, 6 and 18 of the Canadian Wheat Board Act state:

Duty to comply

3.12 (2) The directors and officers of the Corporation shall comply with this Act, the regulations, the by-laws of the Corporation and any directions given to the Corporation under this Act.

6(1)(j) to act as agent for or on behalf of any minister or agent of Her Majesty in right of Canada in respect of any operations that it may be directed to carry out by the Governor in Council

Directions by Governor in Council

18. (1) The Governor in Council may, by order, direct the Corporation with respect to the manner in which any of its operations, powers and duties under this Act shall be conducted, exercised or performed.

Directors

(1.1) The directors shall cause the directions to be implemented.....


Mr.Measner and Mr, Ritter need to resign

Parsley, you are amazing!!!!!!!! How do you make time to do all your research? This bit of information should be required reading for every grain farmer. Tnanks again from a contankeroous old farmer from Sask.

carebear300,

Farmers often cannot depend upon the elites whom we have traditionally relied upon, to give us accurate information, because they have shown they are more often interested in THE earnings than MY earnings.

If there is anything I have learned about farming, it is "read it for yourself".

If Mr. Measner didn't read the Act, he should be fired, for incompetence.

If he did read the Act, and he goes on national television claiming the CWB is run by Directors, he should be fired for misleading the public.

So a farmer should be asking, why would Mr. Measner go to all the trouble of making himself look like a victim?

Keep in mind carebear, your contingency purse is stuffed full of YOUR hard-earned money.

Why do you think he did not reflect what the Act states?

I think it needs to be said that we must read for ourselves but we must also try to read between the lines. Like many things the CWB does there statements are worded to imply rather than to state reality. For example the comments regarding the concern of current grain buyers and ability to do business. Has the concern really come from the buyers or does the board employ the same scare tactics it uses at home to stir the pot.Time and time again comments made by the board, it's directors and it's staff give stretching the truth new meaning.
