8:30 – We’ve heard a lot about the issues China is causing by refusing shipments of Canadian canola, but now it seems soybean and pea producers are also feeling the pressure. Traders of soybeans, peas, and pork have also faced “unusual obstacles” when it comes to China, and with the season getting started there’s a lot of uncertainty among producers. Premier Scott Moe, who has expressed frustration with a lack of progress from Ottawa on the issue, is now calling for Canada to step up its inspections of Chinese goods in order to force a response. Moe said he plans to speak to Justin Trudeau about the situation today, but first he’ll speak with Gormley.

10:00 – The senate’s Transport and Communications Committee is holding public hearings in Edmonton today and Regina on Wednesday as part of its review of Bill C-48, the “Oil Tanker Moratorium Act” commonly called the “tanker ban.” If passed, the bill would ban oil tankers off Canada’s West Coast, applying to any tankers carrying more than 12,500 tonnes of oil, with penalties as high as $5 million for any violations. Senator Richard Neufeld, who previously served as B.C.’s minister for energy, mines, and petroleum resources, is on the committee and has spoken out against the bill. He joins John now to discuss the bill and what he’s hearing from Canadians.
