The Honourable Heath MacDonald, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, is travelling to Brussels and Paris to advance Canada's agricultural trade interests in Europe, the federal government announced Oct. 14 in Ottawa.
In Brussels, he will meet with European Commission officials, members of the European Parliament and EU agricultural stakeholders. In Paris, Minister MacDonald will attend the G7 Agriculture Ministerial Meeting organized by the French Ministry of Agriculture, alongside ministers and senior officials from other G7 countries and the EU.
