I was quoted by the Western Producer on the news that Canada and the EU seek an association membership deal. Here is one quote, more can be found in the article itself:

There are huge risks for producers if Canada joins the EU, said Wirtz , a senior policy analyst for the Consumer Choice Center, a consumer advocacy group with offices in Washington, Brussels, London and Kuala Lumpur.

Joining the EU would require Ottawa to hand over some of its regulatory powers to Brussels, he said.

“The same problems that EU farmers have protested in the last few years would become the problems of Canadian farmers,” Wirtz said.
