Sask. dairy farmers watching NAFTA talks closely
The Canadian dairy industry is once again being brought into the conversation as politicians continue talks to salvage the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Joy Smith, the manager of policy and communications at SaskMilk, spoke to 650 CKOM Tuesday after the Trudeau government returned to what could be the final round of renegotiations.
“We’re watching closely, but it’s just business as usual – the farmers are working hard and continuing to produce that milk,” Smith said
The supply and management system for the dairy industry is a politically-charged issue that many analysts have predicted would be among the final conflicts to be addressed in the NAFTA renegotiation.
