Today, the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, congratulated Doug Chorney on his upcoming retirement from his position as Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), effective April 30, 2024, and thanked him for his dedication and service to Canadians. Mr. Chorney was first appointed as Assistant Chief Commissioner to the CGC in February 2017 and became Chief Commissioner in December 2020.
Mr. Chorney’s time at the CGC followed a long and distinguished career in the agricultural sector.

The CGC regulates grain handling in Canada and establishes and maintains science-based standards of quality for Canadian grain.

The process to staff the position of Chief Commissioner of the CGC is underway and a replacement will be named in due course.
