Task Force Report Released

 

The task force was established by Minister Strahl on September 19, 2006 to recommend options on the way forward in implementing marketing choice for western wheat and barley producers. In its report to the Minister, the task force makes a number of recommendations on how best to proceed with a transition from single desk selling through the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) to an environment where farmers may sell their wheat or barley to any buyer, including a transformed Wheat Board (CWB II).  See below for the entire report.
