AAFC has sent an invitation to CAAR representatives to attend a town hall discussion as part of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) industry consultation for the Fertilizer Emissions Reductions Target. The Town Hall will be Chaired by Assistant Deputy Minister Tom Rosser on April 12th.  

The Town Hall will include a presentation from AAFC officials about the emissions reduction target and the issues identified in the Reducing emissions arising from the application of fertilizer in Canada’s agriculture sector Discussion Document, followed by a Q&A session.

CAAR is seeking member feedback and participation to ensure the voice of agri-retailers is heard. 

CAAR reminds members that AAFC has requested comments to the discussion paper by June 3. CAAR knows members are busy at this time of year, but we are encouraging all agriculture stakeholders to take participate in the Town Hall and provide input.
