Canada's Ag Ministers To Meet Virtually Later This Month

Canada's agriculture ministers will meet virtually November 20th and 27th.
 
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau commented on some of the topics that will be discussed.
 
"Obviously improving AgriStability is a top priority," she said. "We'll have a good conversation on African swine fever. I know we'll talk also about the fees that are now imposed by some big retailers. Always take this opportunity to give an update to our provincial colleagues on the federal responsibilities around international trade, for example, science and innovation."
 
The FPT meeting was postponed twice this year due to COVID-19 and the Saskatchewan election.

I’m Phil Hord, and I’m excited to kick off my first episode as host on The Swine it Podcast Show. It’s a privilege to begin this journey with you. In this episode, Dr. John Deen, a retired Distinguished Global Professor Emeritus from the University of Minnesota, explains how pandemic threats continue to shape U.S. swine health and production. He discusses vulnerabilities in diagnostics, movement control, and national preparedness while drawing lessons from ASF, avian influenza, and field-level epidemiology. Listen now on all major platforms.

"Pandemic events in swine systems continue to generate significant challenges because early signals often resemble common conditions, creating delays that increase spread and economic disruption."
