Crop Logistics Working Group Receives Renewed Mandate

Feb 20, 2015

Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz has announced that the Crop Logistics Working Group (CLWG) has received its third mandate to bring together agriculture sector experts to provide advice on how to improve the grain handling and transportation system.

"Canada’s crop industry is a vital part of the Canadian economy and we will continue to work with all parts of the supply chain to get farmers’ products to market," said Ritz. "The renewed mandate for the CLWG will support the government’s long-term strategy to strengthen and modernize Canada’s grain sector to position it for future growth."

The working group will be chaired by Murdoch MacKay and will include representation from across the agriculture sector.

"I look forward to working with my industry colleagues to find ways of improving and strengthening the grain supply chain," said MacKay, who also serves as the Commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission.

The first meeting took place Thursday in Winnipeg.
