Grain Growers of Canada Outlines Election Priorities

The Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) have created a video demonstrating the priorities for the grain sector heading into next month's federal election.

“This video highlights the support we need to unlock Canada’s limitless potential for agriculture,” explained GGC chair Andre Harpe. “All we need is a willing partner from our next federal government – whoever that may be.”

The video (and document) mention key areas such as business risk management, research funding, and breaking down barriers to trade.

“Our message here is that farmers are ready to get to work,” added Harpe. “We are already at the forefront when it comes to creating wealth and economic growth, while leading our nation’s fight against climate change. Now it is time to take another step forward.”
