Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau briefly met with her Chinese counterpart, where she expressed Canada's concern with the suspension of canola exports to China over claims it is contaminated.

Canada has used a major World Trade Organization gathering to demand China deliver evidence that Canadian canola is contaminated.

The federal government is rolling out changes to a payment program for canola farmers to help those affected by China's decision to ban the Canadian product.

Details - such as the level of support the federal government is expected to announce - are not yet known.
