Regulatory Review - Alberta Canola Bylaw Development

As the Government of Alberta continues to reduce regulatory red tape, there’s an opportunity for Alberta Canola to help with this.

Marketing Council, the oversight body for the twenty agricultural boards and commissions in Alberta, has directed Alberta Canola to develop bylaws that will help update the Alberta Canola Producers Marketing Plan Regulation. This will improve the overall regulatory process and adaptability in a dynamic agricultural environment.

Marketing Council has approved the draft of the official bylaws for advanced producer consultation until January 10, 2023 prior to being presented at Alberta Canola's Annual General Meeting on January 17.
