    Good post tweety, CETA is clearly beneficial for Western Canadian agriculture.

    There is a reason the NFU is no longer relevant.

      The conservative numbers ( the ones that aren't invented) are only relevant if the EU buys everything we can produce and never increases their own production( remember they already export 15% of their wheat).
      European Commission, Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Unit C4 says the tariff on wheat is 12 Euros/t and for barley is 16 Euros/t.

        Rather fanciful figures tweety yet they call them "real and important gains" to promote their hollow ideology.
        On beef our total exports are only @$4.5 billion yet $1billion increase will be achieved by beef and pork sectors? The image is great - sell all our exports for 25-50% more but the reality is different. We only have about 1 or 2% of our cattle that would qualify for EU export and our western Canadian fed cattle price is currently equal to that in Scotland - one of the EU's high quality beef producers. So where is this real increase in value coming from?

        How much credibility does the GGC presentation have when they claim that Canada is one of only 2 developed countries adhering to UPOV '78?

        Well Belgium still uses the earlier UPOV 64/72.

        Italy, Portugal New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and China are on the list using UPOV '78 - care to take a stab at which is the other "developed" country according to these jokers?
        Laughable.

        That's not mentioning the 40 plus countries that have no plant protection legislation including Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

        We shouldn't get too cocky pushing this "free trade" mantra anyway - you are aware that Canada too has import tariffs on beef as well as grains? Living in glass houses and all that.

          chuck chuck...this I agree with you on...SM shouldn't have made quota a commodity.
          SM...since its a matter of public policy, the boards who control should disclose/explain/defend how prices are determined when asked. If they cannot, we have a problem.

            No idea, the question was what do other organizations have for analysis of the topic. Go ask them.
