As one of the world's largest exporters of agricultural and agri-food products, Canada needs a transportation system that provides stable and predictable access to international markets.
Today, the Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport, was joined by the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, for a roundtable meeting with grain sector representatives. The roundtable aimed to gather the views of the western agriculture sector on the Canada Transportation Act review and the development of a long-term agenda for transportation in Canada.
This roundtable, organized to hear additional views from producers, builds on engagement sessions held by Minister Garneau across the country to discuss the future of transportation, and on input received during roundtables Minister MacAulay held with over 20 grain sector groups in Winnipeg and Regina.
