KAP Wants More Transparency in Grain Act Amendment

The government's proposed amendment (Bill C-48) to the Canada Grain Act has Keystone Agricultural Producers asking for more transparency.
 
Rob Brunel, chair of KAP's grains, oilseeds and pulses committee says he would like to see producers contribute to the proposed producer payment security fund upfront rather than incurring the cost in the basis price offered later by licensed purchasers.
 
He's also asking for an advisory board, with farmer representation, to oversee the fund.
 
"Producers can have a level of comfort knowing what the fund is, how big it is, and how it's being used and managed, and what coverage levels may be set," Brunel explained.
 
KAP is urging the federal government to consider asking for farmer input when developing the mechanism of the proposed fund.
