$2,2 million for Quebec maple syrup industry

Federal Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau has issued a news release in French announcing a $2.2-million grant to Quebec maple syrup producers.

It is for promotion and marketing, including in Japan and China.

There was no mention of producers in other provinces, such as Ontario and New Brunswick where maple syrup is a major crop. Ontario has had a huge harvest of top-quality maple syrup this spring.
