Mr. Harper's economic plan for Manitoba

From the CP's Michael MacAfee in the Globe:


"Once the CWB's single-desk system is abolished, we think the Canadian wheat industry may lose advantages to other competitors," Yang Hong, general manager of the wheat division of China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corp., wrote in response to written questions.

Mr. Yang said the corporation may consider buying grain from other countries if Canada can no longer guarantee reliable supply and quality.

Yikes.
