Welcome back to Grains on Tap, where Canadian agriculture policy and craft beer intersect. We're joined by Francis Drouin, Member of Parliament for Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, Ontario and the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. Since taking office in 2015, Francis has been a fervent supporter of farmers and a proponent of economic development in rural communities. He also understands the intersection of government and public affairs, having worked in government relations both as a consultant and for a not-for-profit. But Francis didn't arrive empty-handed! Joining us on a late Monday afternoon, he's here with good news related to the Advanced Payments Program (APP). So, grab your favourite craft beer and settle in for another episode of Grains on Tap.

Welcome to the inaugural episode of "Grains on Tap", the podcast where the world of Canadian agriculture policy meets craft beer. Our journey through the corridors of power and the fields of grain begins with a special guest, Branden Leslie, Member of Parliament for Portage-Lisgar and a proud alumnus of the Grain Growers of Canada. Branden, a native of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, brings a wealth of knowledge from his time as a political advisor and his tenure as the manager of policy and government relations with the GGC, to his recent election to the House of Commons. As we sit down with Branden on a late Friday afternoon, fresh from his duties at the House of Commons, we'll dive into the intersection of agriculture and politics, his journey from advocacy to elected office, and how these experiences shape his views on the future of Canadian agriculture. And, as we're doing this over a couple of well-deserved beers, we'll also touch on the lighter side of life, including Brandon's recent venture into fatherhood.

On March 21st of this year, the pest management regulatory agency, or the PMRA, initiated a targeted review of the pest control products act.
