I thank the honourable member for his question. Of course, the government welcomes the views of stakeholders. There are a great many opinions and views being expressed, from within the industry especially, with regard to future arrangements for the single desk. The government has not endorsed anybody’s view; we have heard many people. I am stopped often as I walk around the countryside, as my colleagues are. A lot of people come up to us; a lot of views are put to us officially and unofficially. We have said on any number of occasions that the government endorses the single desk so long as it is of benefit to wheat growers and is in the national interest.
