Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland says that the “door is open” on the possibility of the federal government introducing a subsidy to bring down the cost of fertilizer for farmers, exacerbated by supply shortages and Canadian tariffs on Russian fertilizer.
“Some Canadian farmers, because of their historical relationships and historical dependencies, have been affected and we think it is very appropriate to have a conversation and make an effort to acknowledge that and to support those farmers,” Freeland told reporters in Ottawa on Dec. 15.
