The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan welcomes the news that the
Comprehensive and Progressive TransPacific Partnership has received Royal Assent in Ottawa.

“The passage of CTPP opens up significant export opportunities for Saskatchewan
farmers and ranchers, and we are very pleased to see the speedy ratification of
this landmark trade agreement by decision makers,” said APAS President Todd Lewis.

“Our producers are the most trade dependent in Canada, and we are ready to take
advantage of new market opportunities in the Pacific region. This is good news for our
producers and rural communities,” Lewis concluded.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
