It has been said by quite a few people that organizations are best defined by what they oppose versus what they support. That seems like too cynical of a view of the world. I want to talk about what we stand for.

Review of C-49
Transportation Modernization February 14, 2018
Introduction
On behalf of Cereals Canada, I want to thank the Standing Committee for the invitation to appear before you today. Reform to legislation governing rail transportation for grain is critical if Canada is to meet growing demand and maintain our reputation as a reliable supplier. Failure to reform our regulatory framework will negatively impact the entire value chain, including farmers, grain handlers, and exporters. Failure to ensure our growing production is able to move to market will cost jobs across the country and limit investment in growth and innovation research.
The 2017 New Crop Mission’s Team Canadian Wheat visited Canada’s top customers and provided them with technical data and support. Who are Canada’s top customers? Some of the answers, like Japan will be no surprise to anyone, but many would not expect to see one of our newest top customers, Nigeria on the list.
The TPP-11 agreement raises the bar with respect to modern and progressive trading rules in Asia-Pacific and beyond. Canada’s participation demonstrates much-needed leadership in advancing trade policy cooperation on the global stage.
Cereals Canada is a national, not-for-profit organization that brings a broad and diverse collaboration of partners from all sectors of the cereals value chain.
