Canada's vs. Canadian

In this sentence "Canada's agricultural sector is in two major parts." Is it right to say "Canadian agricultual sector is in two major parts." instead? If not, why , what are their differences? I look up "canadian" in the dictionary, and found that it had the meaning of "from, belonging to or relating to Canada". Thanks a lot.
