The National Farmers Union welcomes this opportunity to present its views on the issue of shrinkage deductions on grain. The NFU represents thousands of grain farmers in the prairie region who have a direct interest in the regulatory framework under which the Canadian Grain Commission operates.
The NFU has put forward the views of its members on numerous occasions over the past decade on issues involving the Canadian Grain Commission. We believe it is of critical importance that the integrity of the mandate of the Canada Grain Act be maintained, and that the Canadian Grain Commission operate in the interests of grain producers.
