The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) are calling for swift action to address ongoing trade tariffs that continue to impact farmers.
APAS met with Kody Blois, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister when he was in Saskatoon for last week's canola meeting.
APAS President Bill Prybylski emphasized the urgency of resolving tariff disputes with China and the United States, which have disrupted normal trade flows and hurt our agricultural economy.
"We’re looking for a commitment from both levels of government to bring these canola tariffs and all the tariff talk to the forefront," Prybylski said. "We need to start dealing with them as soon as possible and hopefully get back to some sort of normal trade."
