This had better not be some study that is put on the shelf. Our very livelihoods are at stake. Market access is vital to the well-being of our nation.
We are proud of the quality of our products. The quality is not in question. Stable and open trade is vital and governments must constantly nurture our trading relationships.
Canada must push back when appropriate with no exceptions. Canada has a team of world-class negotiators with people like Steve Verheul and others who have the ability to effectively negotiate on our behalf.
China is a vital market. They like and need our product. Reach out to them with two high-level groups, one technical and one political. Fill the ambassador position with an ag champion.
This matter needs urgent resolution.
Thank you.
