Ag Minister Says Open For Business Reps Entire Agri-Food Chain

Agriculture Minister Jeff Leal hosted his first Open For Business forum last week since being appointed Minister.

Leal says five members have been added to the forum, which now represents the entire agri-food value chain.

The forums are designed to help streamline regulations and establish new policies.

The Agriculture Minister says those are the kinds of things which will help the agri-food sector meet the Premier's goal of doubling it's growth rate and creating 120 thousand new jobs by 2020.
