A former president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada will take the helm of the Canadian Dairy Commission from another former DFC president.
Jacques Laforge, who operates a 200-head Holstein dairy farm at St-Andre, N.B., was named Tuesday to a three-year term as the new CEO of the commission, which manages the support price and market-sharing quota mechanisms of Canada?s supply management system for dairy.
Chairman of the DFC from 2004 until last year, Laforge takes over at the CDC from John Core, a Lambton County, Ont. dairyman who?s been the commission?s CEO since 2002 and was DFC president from 1999 to 2001.
Laforge "has established himself as a driving force in the Canadian dairy industry," federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz said Tuesday in announcing the appointment. "I am certain that his knowledge and passion for the industry will continue to serve our dairy producers and processors well as he takes on this important new role."
