Although I personally am a very strong supporter of wheat board commissionnaires and their appointment in terms of their expertise in marketing, I admit out of those hearings that we held across western Canada I conceded, based on hearing the arguments brought forth from farmers across the country, that maybe we had to move toward a majority of producers being elected to the board.
The producers are not as important as the marketers. 
I'm not sure why it was difficult. The conclusion was that they probably should move to more producers on the board than marketers, so saying marketers are more important than producers is incorrect.
