Earlier on Monday, Manitoba NDP MP Pat Martin — the opposition critic for the Canadian Wheat board — warned that Prairie farmers would suffer if the firm were to fall into foreign hands.

"I'm concerned that the independent Prairie farmer will turn into more of a serf to international agrifood giants, and that we will no longer be price-setters of our commodities; we will be price-takers as dictated by someone else," Martin said.

Martin and others had predicted it would be only a matter of time before big international players looked to snatch market share that the Canadian Wheat Board used to dominate.

"This market share was delivered on a silver platter to these international agrifood giants," said Martin, referring to the Conservative government's move to abolish the wheat board's monopoly late last year.
