Ca s supporters of the Canadian wheat Board want the courts to expedite a hearing into whether the Harper government has illegally removed thousands of Farmers from the voters list in this Falls Cwb director elections. Anders Bruun a lawyer representing friends of the Canadian wheat Board filed a motion in Federal court in Winnipeg monday seeking a hearing within the next two weeks. He said in an interview the group which has successfully sued the Federal government in the past Over Barley marketing Hopes the court will hear its arguments for an expedited hearing on Friday. The Cwb director elections in which Farmers will be vying for five spots on the Grain Selling Agency yes Board Are critical to the organizations future. Currently a narrow majority of the 15 member Board five of which Are appointed by Ottawa support the Agency yes monopoly on wheat and Barley sales. Half of the 10 elected positions on the Cwb Board come open every two years. The friends filed a lawsuit against the Federal government last month to Force the reinstatement of what the group claims Are 16,000 Farmers who have been wrongly removed from the voters list. The Farmers in question Are those who have not delivered Grain to the wheat Board since aug. 1, 2007. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz directed their removal in a letter dated july 23, to wheat Board president Ian White. He wrote that although the Farmers May hold Cwb delivery permit books they have not clearly established that they Are eligible producers. However friends contends that permit Book holders Are allowed to vote by Law. The group fears that relatively few Farmers who Are removed from the voters list will go through a quite cumbersome procedure to obtain a ballot. Farmers could have several legitimate reasons not to have delivered wheat or Barley to the wheat Board in the last year or so including crop rotation considerations or crop failure Cwb supporters say. The Federal conservatives issued a similar directive when wheat Board director elections were last held two years ago. A similar number of Farmers were said to be affected at that time although no court Challenge was launched. This was done in the Middle of the last election creating real chaos said Bruun referring to the 2006 Cwb vote. And among those who were segregated out like this about 1,000 returned their ballots. So the voter turnout for those people was something in the Range of six per cent. Blair Rutter executive director of the Western Canadian wheat growers association said his organization sees Ritzus directive As reasonable. Just applying for a permit Book be evidence that you re a producer. You need to have some evidence that you re a producer said Rutter whose organization supports the Federal governments goals of ending the wheat boards sales monopoly Over wheat and Barley.
