Strahl Order In Council

[Vader]

wedino - the transitional president was appointed in 1998 for a short term. That was the only time frame in which a transitional president could exist. That was the only time frame in which the government had the power to unilaterally set the remuneration of the president. For the government to set the remuneration of the president now without consulting the board of directors is breaking the law and any order designed to break the law cannot be enforced.

[JACKFLASH]

Maybe we should have a plebescite on whether Arnason gets paid out of the pool account. The board of directors are supposed to represent the farmers. You boys quit having your hissy fit, and move on. Pay the man.

[wedino]

Vader, That's not the way I read it, but then you're entitled to your opinion.

[wedino]

Vader, Your read of the act reminds me of your pre cwb director days. What became of the lawsuits you filed against the cwb?

[Incognito]

How many in-house lawyers does the CWB have? How many staff in the CWB legal department?

Is this being handled in-house or is the CWB padding some eastern Liberal law firm again with farmer's wheat and barley money?

I presume it is the left half of the board voting agianst the motion to pay Mr Arason.Exactly how many lawyers agree with your position and how much is it going to cost the grian growers of western canada? Agstarr77 you seem quite informed please tell us these numbers.We have great opportunities and changes ahead of us lets work together to move forward in a positive and productive way

Vader, vader, vader, the Government in the past, has stopped an entire sale of grain to Russia, SCREECH, and meantime back in the strawberry patch, you're having a leftless vision, dreaming that your Minister cannot order you to pay the CEO? Wow. You need to re-write that paper called, "Parliamentary Orders are a Hoax".

You better learn to pick raspberries with just_wondering 'cause you just might get one from your boss.

In the meantime, the Designated Single-Gangsters will keep bleeding the pooling accounts to pay national licensing costs even though Part IV says that National Part IV expenses are to be paid from Part III by Prairie farmers.

Talk about ignoring their own Act! You should really read it through, Vader, again. You could confidently quote it verbatim at one time, and now it seems a bit fuzzy for you.

Section 7. CWB Act

(3) Losses sustained by the Corporation
(a) from its operations under Part III in relation to any pool period fixed thereunder, during that pool period, or
(b) from its other operations under this Act during any crop year,
for which no provision is made in any other Part, shall be paid out of moneys provided by Parliament.
R.S., 1985, c. C-24, s. 7; 1998, c. 17, s. 28(E).

Access to Information shows that:

1. Section 7 was put into the Act in 1947, at the same time as Part IV was.


BTW: Same Access to Information papers show that the Government called Part IV a national tariff, not a regional buyback.

CORRECTION
WRONG "Part IV says that National Part IV expenses are to be paid from Part III by Prairie farmers."

RIGHT Part IV says that National Part IV expenses are to be paid by the Federal Government, NOT from Part III by Prairie farmers."
