REGINA – Saskatchewan’s premier says the federal government’s boost to cash advances for canola farmers gives them breathing space as a trade dispute with China continues.
Scott Moe says Ottawa largely granted the province’s request of raising the ceiling of a loan payment program to $1 million from $400,000.
The province had asked for the maximum amount of $1 million to be interest free, but Moe says he appreciates the federal government forgiving the interest on half of that.
