	Canadian Wheat Board
		The Canadian Wheat Board was established in 1935 as an AGRICULTURAL MARKETING BOARD charged with the orderly marketing of western grains.
		The CWB is the sole marketing agency for prairie WHEAT and BARLEY destined for export or for human consumption in Canada.
		The CWB was originally established as a voluntary marketing agency for prairie wheat, but the sale of wheat through the board became compulsory in 1943 and, in 1949, CWB powers were extended to include prairie oats and barley.

	Chuck Strahl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He is a Member of Parliament in the governing Conservative Party of Canada, and is Minister of Agriculture and Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board.
		He was re-elected in 1997 and 2000 elections, running as a member of the Canadian Alliance, which had replaced Reform, in 2000.
		Strahl was viewed as a well-spoken and moderate member of the Canadian Alliance who could woo eastern Canada, but his leadership ambitions were frustrated due to his inability to speak French, as well as the lasting distrust amongst many colleagues over his rebellion in 2001.

		He invited the minister to acquaint himself with the facts, as had been dealt with at length on national television and in the newspapers, and reverse the asinine decision.
		Diefenbaker told reporters, according to a Canadian Press report from Ottawa that it was hard to understand why the post office was so offended at Tisdale's application when in Parliament's recent "lexicon of lewdness," you can say almost anything.

		For western Canadian grain farmers, this means defending the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) with its statutory authority as the "single-desk" seller of wheat, durum and barley to all export markets and for domestic human consumption.
		He is a past president of the Canadian National Farmers Union and was elected by the farmers in his area for three, four-year terms to the former Advisory Committee to the Canadian Wheat Board on which he served as Chairman.
		In other words, Canadian grain growers on the prairies would be trading a monopoly that was created to represent their interests (and by most accounts still does) for one that would have farmers engage in cutthroat competition geared towards getting the best price for the buyer and not the producer.

		They mark the 11th time Ottawa has had to fight to defend farmers and their marketing arm, the Canadian Wheat Board, said Ralph Goodale, minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board.
		The crux of the fight lies with the longstanding claim by American producers and officials that the Canadian Wheat Board has an unfair monopoly.
		However, the board will be required to post bonds equal to the preliminary duty, which Goodale said it will recover once Canada wins at the final determination.

		The association, which wants to see an end to the wheat board's monopoly entirely, said they don't like the clause that would allow new crops such as canola and flax to be brought under board control.
		The wheat growers also plan to continue their fight to delete barley from the board's control, Maguire, a Manitoba farmer, added.

		Said monopoly only allows provincial farmers to sell wheat through the board, but Alcock said there was a widespread call for dual-marketing -- sales that could go through the board or other channels.
