Canada’s grain act under review
MELFORT, Sask. – The consultation phase of the Canada Grain Act review has begun.
The government is seeking feedback from grain industry stakeholders on ways to update for legislation that has been mostly unchanged for nearly 50 years.
Agriculture and Agri-Food minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said for farmers to be competitive they need a legislative framework that reflects the realities of modern agriculture.
The consultation will allow the federal government to hear the perspectives of the sector on how grain is bought, sold, delivered, and handled.
