Today, the Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, congratulated Doug Chorney on his upcoming retirement from his position as Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), effective April 30, 2024, and thanked him for his dedication and service to Canadians.
