MacAulay Optimistic Pulse Issue With India Will Be Resolved

Apr 04, 2017
Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay says negotiations are continuing with India on finding a long term, science based solution to India’s call to have pulses fumigated prior to their arrival.
 
In the meantime, India had issued a 3 month waiver for Canada regarding pest fumigation.
 
MacAulay says they are working with Pulse Canada Chair Lee Moats and their CEO Gordon Bacon on the issue with India in looking for a long term science based solution.
 
"They seem to me to be quite positive on it anyhow, and that hopefully that's the way it will work," commented MacAulay. "It certainly looks like they need the pulses and we have them, and they like what we have, and if we can pull all that together this should work out well for all."
