Canada's canola industry held a webinar Friday morning to update producers on the situation with China.

Canola Council of Canada President Jim Everson talked about China's unwillingness to welcome a technical delegation from Canada.

"It's in our mind, way more than a disappointment," he said. "We believe that China really has an obligation, after they've made these determinations, that they've indicated to us about the quality of canola. They have an obligation to come forward and to engage with us about that."

Minister of International Trade Diversification Jim Carr said that the government is reviewing all options on how to deal with the situation.

He commented on the current friction in the global trading environment.

"Canada has led in a very determined effort to put nations together around the world to begin to look at reform of the WTO," said Carr. "It's not easy, but we are taking the lead and we do this by inviting in the first place, like-minded nations who believe in a rules-based trading order and that is going well. We will meet again. We've met twice already in Paris at the OECD, we'll meet again in Japan in June. But Ultimately, this is not going to succeed unless the Chinese and the Americans are onside"

Carr also talked about other commodities that are being impacted around the world.

"We know that the canola-Chinese issue is not the only one that producers are facing. We understand that we're increasingly frustrated at the tariff regime in India. I noticed this week that the tariff on wheat went from 30 to 40 per cent.  We also know about the durum problem in Italy and it also is yet another reminder of how important it is to have rules."
