The CCA Board heard from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada representatives and were pleased to see that CCA’s partnership lobbying efforts had resulted in the Government of Canada extending the APP interest free loan portion to $250,000 from the initial $100, 000 in 2021 – an announcement that was made on March 25, 2024. Agriculture Minister, Hon.
