On April 21, 2015, the Canadian government tabled its annual budget. The Economic Action Plan for 2015 (“Strong Leadership – A Balanced-Budget, Low-Tax Plan for Jobs, Growth and Security”) includes expanded funding for re-opening, expanding and maintaining market access for Canadian agricultural and agri-food products and for promoting and differentiating Canadian products in international markets. The budget also funds the development of new markets for seal products, including certification requirements for the EU market, increases research funding available for agriculture, and accelerates increases in the lifetime capital gains exemption for farmers and fishermen.
