  • The Trajectory of Three Marketing Boards in Canada: Gone, Going… and Curiously Persistent
    The Trajectory of Three Marketing Boards in Canada: Gone, Going… and Curiously Persistent BRYAN P. SCHWARTZ INTRODUCTION 2020 CanLIIDocs 2555 overnment operated single-desk marketing boards were a feature of the Canadian agricultural economy for much of the 20th and G 21st centuries. However, their future viability and existence is now the subject of increasing criticism and doubt. This essay seeks to explain general trends by comparing and contrasting the past, present, and projected future of three schemes: the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB), the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation (FFMC), and the Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC). At one time the CWB was the largest grain marketing board in the world1, but after briefly being reduced to an option for producers as a dual-desk marketing board, the CWB has now been fully privatized. The FFMC has lost exclusive control in many jurisdictions, most recently ceasing to operate as a single-desk entity in Manitoba, and now operating as a single-desk only in the Northwest Territories. At the same time, the CDC continues to persevere despite both international pressure from partners to new free trade agreements that seek to reduce its authority, and domestic criticism that it is inefficient, hurts the disadvantaged, and stifles innovation. Professor and Asper Chair in International Business and Trade Law, Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Manitoba Law Journal. 1 Brian Mayes, “Blame Canada: American Trade Complaints against the Canadian Wheat Board” (2002) 2 Asper Rev of Intl Bus and Trade L 135 at 135 [Mayes]. Three Marketing Boards in Canada 161 This essay reviews the theory of marketing boards and then compares the histories of the three different boards, the current developments in their operation, and the likely future of the boards or their successors.

    Dear SGEU member: The Saskatchewan government is proposing to privatize food services in our adult corrections and young offender centres in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert. This move will result in the elimination of 64 SGEU member positions and could be a first step towards the full-scale privatization of corrections and young offender services. It is a further erosion of the strong public services SGEU members are proud to provide and that make our province a great place to live. Help us stop the privatization of corrections food services. We can make a difference. Our goal is to show government that Saskatchewan people do not want to go down the privatization road. You are receiving this information package to help you take an active part in the campaign to keep corrections kitchens in public hands. The information has been developed to help you understand the issue, and take action by contacting your local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and the Minister of Corrections.
