Finance Canada’s Pre-Budget Submissions
SaskCrops continues to submit annually to Finance Canada’s federal pre-budget consultations. The SaskCrops submissions emphasize the need for the government to acknowledge Saskatchewan’s annual crop producers’ contributions to the Canadian economy, global food security, and emissions reduction. The submissions also draw attention to the need for the government to meaningfully and constructively encourage agricultural innovation through increased and accelerated investment in research that will enable primary agricultural producers to lower their carbon footprint and increase their capacity to competitively meet Canadian and global demand for their products, both of which are stated goals and targeted objectives of the government.
