Okay, I've got some dumb questions about the CWB. If I understand things correctly, not all grains are handled by the Wheat Board. Some commodities, like Canola I believe, are marketed outside of the CWB. If that's true, why can't all commodities be marketed outside the CWB? And aren't the prices generally higher for commodities that are marketed outside the CWB, suggesting that the fear of prices being lower if the CWB is abolished are unfounded? Forgive me if I'm missing some obvious and salient details ... I'm not an expert on this topic at all.
