Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is set to meet today with federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald , along with industry groups, to discuss the steep Chinese tariff on Canadian canola seed.

Kody Blois, the parliamentary secretary for Prime Minister Mark Carney , and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison are also to attend the meeting in Saskatoon.
