Two Premiers Demand Vote On Wheat Board
Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert and Manitoba Premier Gary Doer met in Saskatoon concerning proposed changes to the Canadian Wheat Board that are being contemplated by the Federal Conservative government.
In no uncertain terms, the two prairie premiers have demanded that farmers be given a vote to either reject or ratify any change as the current law requires.
Both Calvert and Doer have said that if the Federal government does not hold an immediate vote then the two grain producing provinces will hold their own.
