Cereals Canada congratulates Michael Harvey, Executive Director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA), on his appointment to the Government of Canada’s Advisory Committee on Canada–U.S. Economic Relations.

Mr. Harvey’s appointment comes at an important time for Canadian agriculture, as preparations advance for the 2026 joint review of the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). His deep understanding of trade and export-dependent sectors will help ensure agri-food perspectives are well represented in these critical discussions.

“Michael brings a strong, respected voice for Canadian agri-food exporters, and his appointment is well deserved,” said Leif Carlson, vice president of markets and trade at Cereals Canada. “At a time when consumers are concerned about food prices, the importance of predictable, tariff-free trade with the United States and Mexico is clear. Michael’s experience and insight will be invaluable to the Committee.”

Cereals Canada welcomes Michael Harvey’s contribution to the Advisory Committee and looks forward to continued collaboration in support of a strong, competitive, and reliable Canadian cereals sector.
