FEDERAL BUSINESS UP FOR REVIEW
By Adnews Staff
The federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada business is up for grabs. The account is on the open bidding system until Sept. 27. The agency hired will handle advertising that will focus on things such as grain transportation and new government programs for farmers. The department previously handled its advertising on a project basis and doesn't have an incumbent agency. The Western Economic Diversification business was on the open bidding system until yesterday. The federal department is looking for a Western Canadian agency to tell Canadians in the west what the government can offer them, such as health assistance. Industry Canada, Foreign Affairs & International Trade and Foreign Affairs departments will have short lists for their accounts in the next few weeks.
