In conclusion, Canadian canola growers are very optimistic about the future of Canadian canola farmers and our ability to continue to contribute positively to the Canadian economy. Canadian agriculture should be viewed as a strategic investment for future growth.
The next APF has an important role to play in facilitating this by providing farmers with effective risk management tools and investing in research and innovation that will help farmers be resilient and globally competitive, while at the same time being on the leading edge of adopting environmentally and economically sustainable practices.
Thank you for the opportunity to appear here today to discuss the priorities of canola farmers. We look forward to continued engagement on this critical piece of agriculture policy.
