CALGARY, ALBERTA (RFD NEWS) — Canada has formed a new advisory committee ahead of the upcoming U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) review, as North American trade partners prepare to revisit key provisions impacting agriculture and cross-border commerce.

RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report to discuss Canada’s new advisory committee and what the upcoming USMCA review could mean for North American agriculture.

In his interview with RFD News, Haney said the move signals early positioning ahead of what is expected to be a closely watched renegotiation period for farmers and agribusiness stakeholders across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

He also addressed the key issues Canadian agriculture should be watching ahead of the USMCA review this summer. Finally, he spoke about the importance of the review for farmers and what could be at stake if negotiations do not go smoothly.
