"I wish to extend my thanks to the industry for inputting into the policy development over the past two years and throughout this past summer," said Minister Ritz.

FPT Ministers are committed to continuing the dialogue with the sector well past the Yukon meeting. Ongoing dialogue with producers and Canadians will continue to shape governments' policies and programs in agriculture and agri-food.
