Eastern grain standards committee

The Committee

The Eastern Standards Committee consists of four grain producers, three Canadian Grain Commission staff (a commissioner, a grain inspector and a scientist), one member nominated by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, four processors and exporters and not more than three others appointed by the Canadian Grain Commission.

The Eastern Standards Committee meets approximately twice a year to recommend specifications for grades of grain, and select and recommend standard samples to the Canadian Grain Commission.
