Canada’s new agriculture minister says he can’t lift a ministerial order banning seed potatoes from leaving Prince Edward Island just yet.
Lawrence MacAulay spoke about the potato seed ban with CBC News Wednesday, as the federal Liberal cabinet retreat was taking place in Charlottetown.
The minister, who represents the P.E.I. riding of Cardigan, said there’s “nothing more” he would like than lift the order, but that there are steps he needs to take before he can do that.
