Ministers discussed a number of key issues from the recent disruptions at the Port of Vancouver, to the Clean Fuel Regulations and honey bee health.

A key issue of discussion at the table was the extreme weather situations currently impacting producers including drought and wildfires with Ministers agreeing that innovation, scientific research and development, and collaboration play key roles in continuing to increase productivity and economic growth while protecting the environment.
