Narrative
The Canadian Grain Commission regulates grain handling in Canada to ensure a dependable commodity for domestic and export markets and to ensure that Canadian grain producers receive fair compensation when they deliver grain to licensed grain companies. The Canadian Grain Commission reviews the Canada Grain Regulations annually in order to improve efficiency and responsiveness and reduce inconsistencies in Canada’s grain quality assurance and producer protection systems. Communication and engagement with all grain sector stakeholders is key to a regulatory framework that maximizes the value of the Canadian Grain Commission’s programs for producers, the grain industry, and all Canadians.
