New working group announced for Canadian poultry and egg sectors
The working group will bring together also officials from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), respresentatives from national poultry and egg organizations and associations, as well as regional representatives.
The goal of this group is to develop strategies to fully and fairly support farmers and processors to help them adjust to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). It will also discuss support to reflect the impact of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
“This working group will ensure the voices of the hardworking men and women who are building and growing our farm businesses are heard and reflected, as we develop a path forward to ensure our poultry and egg sectors remain strong and competitive well into the future. Together, we will make sure our industries are well-positioned to thrive,” Mr MacAulay said.
The working group will help the poultry and egg sectors innovate and remain an important source of jobs and economic growth for future generations. The Ministry announced that supporting expertise to the working group may also include academic leaders, as well as industry and financial experts, as necessary.
In addition, the Canadian government will engage with provincial and territorial governments on an ongoing basis throughout the collaboration process.
