Prime Minister of Canada and Premier Scott Moe discussed the significant impacts

"The Canadian government is taking swift action to address the unfounded anti-dumping duties imposed by China on Canadian canola seed.

In a meeting yesterday, Prime Minister of Canada and Premier Scott Moe discussed the significant impacts these duties will have on Canadian farmers if maintained. The two leaders emphasized their commitment to supporting the country's hard-working farmers, who are renowned for providing high-quality food products to Canadians and international partners.

To mitigate the effects of these duties, Premier Moe and Prime Minister Trudeau agreed to engage directly with industry stakeholders in the coming days to explore options and build on the discussions held earlier this week between Canada's Minister of Agriculture, Minister of International Trade, and leading canola producers and exporters.

Canada takes pride in its exceptional canola products, which meet the highest standards of quality. Our robust inspection systems ensure the integrity of our exports. The government is committed to fostering a constructive dialogue with Chinese officials to address mutual trade concerns, while simultaneously diversifying Canada's trade relationships and supporting our canola producers domestically.

By working together, we can protect the interests of Canadian farmers and the agricultural sector as a whole, while promoting fair and open trade practices that benefit all parties involved."
