Decisions of the Appellate Body of the World Trade Organization Canada – Measures Relating to Exports of Wheat and Treatment of Imported Grain 2. Facts This case related to the Canadian Wheat Board (“CWB”). The statutory objective of the CWB is the marketing in an orderly manner, in inter-provincial and export trade, of grain grown in Canada. The CWB is granted exclusive authority for the sale of wheat and barley grown in the designated area in export markets and for human consumption in the domestic market. The "designated area" includes the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Peace River area of the province of British Columbia. The U.S. asserted inter alia that the Canadian Wheat Board Export Regime (the "CWB Export Regime") is inconsistent with Canada's obligations under Article XVII:1 of GATT 1994.
