Canadian agriculture will have a voice around the table of Prime Minister Carney’s Advisory Committee on Canada-U.S. Economic Relations.
The 25-member committee “will serve as a forum for expertise and strategy on all aspects of the Canada-U.S. economic relationship” as this summer’s CUSMA review inches closer, an April 21 statement says.
Multiple people on the committee have direct ties to Canada’s ag sector.
One is Michael Harvey, the executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA) since 2023.
Serving on this committee “presents our sector with an important opportunity to drive exporter priorities into action, including maintaining reliable cross-border trade, addressing emerging barriers, and strengthening the framework that underpins North American food production,” he said in an April 21 statement.
