Sounds like a horrible bedtime read.
But, the 2003 "Sparks" report is not mealy-mouthed, and it is essential reading if you want to know where the hole is in your CWB knapsack, where the cash continues to dribble out.
In 2000, Gray at the U of S had yet another report for the CWB, and Sparks gives a diagnosis on what ails Gray's report.
Gray's report is viewed as one sick piece of work.
While a lot of researchers are hoping to get hired by the Board, and being objective and listing points of reason are not really in the cards if the evidence points to the Board looking dumb, this report calls it as they see it.

Gray’s methodology appears flawed in several respects. Overall, the conclusion that emerges is that Gray’s recommended benchmarking procedure is ill conceived and was not thoroughly researched.

A Review of the Canadian Wheat Board Benchmarking Methodology
As a farmer, I started to wonder, is it that Gray can't write a good report, or is it that Gray CAN'T write a good report?
