Canada: Reforms to Grain Act Stalled
According to industry sources, Bill C-48, most commonly known as the Modernization of Canada’s Grain Industry Act, is stalled and unlikely to be passed into law before the federal elections currently scheduled for October 19, 2015. This means that the proposed amendments that would have resulted in leveling the playing field for U.S farmers delivering grain to Canadian elevators – by allowing for grading of U.S. grain - are unlikely to pass in the short to medium term.
