The federal government will consider a number of financial measures aimed at helping Canada’s canola producers cope with the loss of one of their key export markets.
Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Trade Minister Jim Carr are scheduled to meet with Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit and leaders of key agricultural groups this morning in Saskatoon.
At the meeting, Marit is expected to unveil a plan that will provide temporary financial assistance to the province’s canola producers, who are coping with declining canola prices in the wake of a Chinese ban on Canadian canola seed exports.
