GGC official critical of latest federal budget
The executive director of Grain Growers of Canada says the newest federal budget document is 400 pages long, but only mentions agriculture six times.
Kyle Larkin says agriculture is a $135 billion industry that accounts for one in nine jobs in Canada.
He adds there are “some major pieces missing.”
“There was no mention of investments or anything for trade enabling infrastructure, and we know that we have many challenges in our supply chains and in our transportation network.”
