Consultation on maximum shrinkage deductions at licensed process and transfer elevators

The Canadian Grain Commission is seeking input on a proposed change to maximum shrinkage allowances at licensed process and transfer elevators. The Canadian Grain Commission intends to proceed with regulating maximum shrinkage allowances for all types of grain, including tough and damp, at both process and transfer elevators to zero. This change is being proposed based on producer and grain industry requests, ongoing improvements in grain handling technology, and to ensure the relevancy and consistency of regulatory application.
