The Canadian Grain Commission will continue to use its surplus to cover budget shortfalls and avoid potential fee increases until 2028. This decision builds on previous measures to bring down costs for the Canadian grain sector while ensuring programs and services continue to deliver results to producers and industry.
The Canadian Grain Commission operates as a revolving fund, charging service fees to fund most of its operations. Currently, fees are not sufficient to cover costs.
The Canadian Grain Commission previously announced that it would use surplus funds to cover expected operating shortfalls until 2027. Today's announcement means that potential fee changes will be postponed for another year to April 1, 2028. In support of the Government's priority to spend less on operations, the Canadian Grain Commission is also committing to find and implement cost-saving measures ahead of potential fee changes.
