Eight former Canadian Wheat Board directors have lost their fight to suspend a new federal law ending the Board’s monopoly on western grain sales.
They wanted a Manitoba court to issue an injunction to stop the law’s implementation until a court could rule on its validity.
But the judge says the former directors didn’t prove their claim that changes to the wheat board would hurt western farmers.
