Members of the Canadian government and business community met in early February to discuss Canada-U.S. relations.
Some of the members on the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations have ties to agriculture.
Martin Caron, for example, is president of the Union des producteurs agricoles in Quebec and a member of the board for the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. Steve Verheul served as Canada’s Chief Agriculture Negotiator from 2003 to 2009, and Linda Hasenfratz is president and CEO of Linamar.
Part of the summit will include discussions on breaking down internal trade barriers.
Farm groups note that differing regulations are a problem.
