Carney’s $370M canola incentives are missing the mark, says industry group president

The president of the Canola Council of Canada says new funding announced this week by Prime Minister Mark Carney “misses the mark” on what the industry needs right now in the face of a steep Chinese tariff.

“We don’t believe there’s been proper recognition of extensive impacts on the rest of the canola value chain,” Chris Davison said on Rosemary Barton Live. “We have exporters and processors who have assets, facilities and infrastructure that is under duress right now.”

He added: “And there was nothing specifically that was speaking to that.”
