Narrative

Federal Budget 2018 identified the agriculture and agri-food sector as a key area to pursue the Government’s regulatory reform agenda focused on ‘supporting innovation and business investment with a goal to make the Canadian regulatory system more agile, transparent and responsive’. Stakeholder submissions as part of the formal Regulatory Review Canada Gazette portal identified the importance of removing unnecessary and/or duplicative regulations. The Canadian Grain Commission reviews its’ regulations annually in order to improve efficiency and responsiveness and reduce inconsistencies in Canada’s grain quality assurance and producer protection systems.
