This partnership will strengthen the economic and physical security of both countries and facilitate the flow of legitimate people and goods across the border.

Canadian Wheat Board Reform

2011-10-11T15:00:22+00:00

On October 7, 2011 in Regina, Canada’s Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, Gerry Ritz, announced the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s (CWB) monopoly on the sale of wheat and barley. For the first time since World War II, Western farmers will be legally permitted to sell their wheat and barley to any buyer they choose. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in calling upon the federal government to allow farmers to sell their products openly, including by ending the CWB monopoly.

A step closer to a Canadian Sustainable Energy Strategy?

Energy security is directly linked to economic competitiveness and job growth. The energy sector is a cornerstone of our prosperity. It plays a critical role for Canada in serving the energy needs of all Canadians and in generating major income. There is virtually no country in the world that does not look at our energy inheritance with envy.
