Most recently Flowers Canada Growers responded to requests from Agriculture Canada on the effects of tariff removal on our industry, held meetings with the CFIA discussing plant health and quarantine issues, represented grower interests at the priority setting workshop for Minor Use Pesticides, held educational seminars on Border Issues, Pesticides, Greenhouse Environment, and Research. FCG advocates for growers at all levels of government to positively influence policy and industry changes for the benefit of both our producers and the Canadian economy.
