Bibeau Outlines Priorities For 2020

Canada's Agriculture Minister is hoping that next year is a better one for farmers.
 
Marie-Claude Bibeau outlined some of her top priorities heading into 2020.
 
"Regaining access to China is definitely one," she said. "Food policy is something else that I look forward to implement. There are different priorities within the food policy, like local food infrastructure, food waste, promoting Canadian products."
 
Bibeau talked more about the China/canola situation.
 
"We have started the process at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and obviously our new Ambassador Dominic Barton is working very hard from his part, and we are also doubling down on our efforts to export to other markets as well."
