Today, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz announced that the CWB has finalized the commercialization deal with G3 Global Grain Group and has become a fully private and global competitor in the Canadian grain sector. This follows the planned investment deal announced in April 2015.
The commercialization of CWB has been part of the Government's broader modernization of Canada's grain sector to stimulate investment and create jobs and economic growth for farmers and Canadians. It includes an aggressive trade and market access agenda, grain transportation and supply chain improvements and investments in science and research.
