Agriculture Minister
Lawrence MacAulay has extended the comment period to Aug. 31 for his
on-line survey comments on a national food policy.
So far only 22,000
people have responded.
Many people,
including the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, have long been
calling for the federal government to adopt a national food policy.
If the Trudeau
government goes ahead to craft one, it will be a Canadian first.
So far Canada has
had only federal-provincial agriculture policies and health and
nutrition policies.
