Normally, when you have an existing policy you say, "OK folks, we are thinking of changing the policy, so lets do some consultations across the country, let's talk to people like the co-op here, let's talk to the National Farmers Union, the Federation of Agriculture, all those representing farmers, and once we have done that, then let's lay out a policy." Or are they just going to be talking to their friends like the Western Canadian Wheat Growers and Monsanto and CropLife to rubber stamp what they are doing?Fri 9:57 am | British Columbia, British Columbia Southern Interior - MP
