On the Agriculture Show, we caught up with Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau.
Among the topics we covered include:
- A major investment in irrigation in Alberta last year in which the federal government covered two-thirds of the investment
- some of the ministry’s accomplishments in 2020, and a look ahead to 2021
- she tells us she is still hopeful the prairie provinces will sign off on the agri-stability program
- some of the key trade agreements with other nations, and her goal of opening new markets for Canada’s ranchers and producers
- the federal government’s commitment to investing in agriculture related technology and research; and,
- a review of the Canada Grain Act, and why it is important for farmers to give their feedback.
The full discussion is below.
