Ag Minister Says He Gets It

Ontario's agriculture minister says he sympathizes with local dairy farmers. Speaking during a visit to Thunder Bay, Ted McMeekin says many are telling him that they don't want to see the end of milk marketing in the province.  He says the province have received assurances from the federal government that our supply management system is not up for discussion during current trade talks.  McMeekin says he is meeting with other rural leaders and taking their concerns to Queens Park.
