The President of the National Farmers Union will be in Walkerton tonight.
Terry Boehm will stop in Walkerton as part of a speaking tour of Southern Ontario.
He wants to draw attention to the dangers posed by the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) currently being negotiated between Canada and the European Union.
Boehm calls the agreement “a corporate bill of rights.”
He claims farmers will live in fear and be put out of business if accused of violating patents and other rights under the agreement.
The federal government argues the agreement will give farmers new market access.
The meeting begins at 7 PM on Tuesday at Victoria Jubilee Hall in Walkerton.
