Alberta
is back in the national Chicken Farmers of Canada marketing agency.
It has
been out since 2013 because it felt it wasn’t getting high enough production allocations.
The deal
became official when the Farm Products Council of Canada determined that
Governor-in-Council approval is not required for the new federal-provincial
agreement.
It has
taken eight years to reach the deal that includes better terms for Ontario.
"The
agreement provides strength to the Canadian chicken industry and shows that we
can work together to evolve our supply management system for the benefit of
all," said Michael Laliberté, executive director of the national agency.
