National business group says farmers will lead an economic recovery
MELFORT, Sask. – Tomorrow will be the first of two virtual meetings for the country’s Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) agriculture ministers.
Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) said farmers can play a key role in the country’s economic recovery post-pandemic and it’s imperative the ministers focus on policies to benefit the agriculture and agri-food sector.
That is why in advance of the meeting, CFIB sent a letter to the agriculture ministers urging them to focus on policies that will help drive growth in the agriculture and agri-food sector.
CFIB agri-business senior policy analyst Virginia Labbie said the ministers should be dealing with issues that will help farmers.
