The Ontario government has announced it will spend $10.5 for a poultry research centre to be built at the Elora Research station.
It previously announced a $13.5-million investment in the centre, so the total is now $24 million.
What happened to the previous boasting that supply-management commodities get no government subsidies?
The poultry research centre will join new facilities built there in the last decade for swine, beef and dairy research.
Agriculture Research and Innovation Ontario is also investing $15.5 million for the new Ontario Feed Innovation Centre at the Elora
Research Station to provide micro-scale nutritional research for swine, poultry, small ruminants and aquaculture.
It will also contribute towards repairs and upgrades to the Dairy
Education Centre at the Ridgetown campus.
The government also announced it intends to invest $41 million with ARIO over the next 10 years.
