Cardigan MP and Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay is wrapping up talks with his provincial and territorial counterparts today in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
The talks were aimed at drafting the next policy framework for the sector.
MacAulay says he expected meetings would focus on a review of business risk management programs and AgriStability, which provides support for farmers experiencing crop failures or large losses.
He says he’s heard from farm operators across the country that they want assurances there won’t be a lapse in the program.
