The Federal Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, has released the findings and recommendations of the task force on implementing marketing choice.   Chuck Strahl says they will examine the recommendations over the weeks and months ahead.  The task force is recommending a four-stage transition from a Canadian Wheat Board with monopoly powers to a marketing choice environment:   preparing for change, forming the new CWB, launching the transformed CWB with transition measures and post transition.   The task force concluded that a new CWB, owned by farmers, could thrive and create value without monopoly selling powers.   The minister says this is a comprehensive model of how the CWB could thrive in a marketing choice environment.   For more information on marketing choice or a copy of this report, please visit www.agr.gc.ca/cwb.
