Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Gerry Ritz has confirmed his attendance. So too has Green Party Deputy Leader Bruce Hyer, and Liberal Agriculture Critic Mark Eyking. NDP Agriculture Critic Malcolm Allen and the Bloq Québécois have yet to confirm their attendance. Southern Ontario dairy farmer and RealAgriculture contributor, Andrew Campbell, will be moderating the debate.

Very excited to be part of this. Not sure whether my journalist side or farmer side is more giddy. https://t.co/u1Hac3HS5O — Andrew Campbell (@FreshAirFarmer) September 1, 2015
