Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution, Regulation
Environment-the Dairy industry is interested in sustainable development, helping to improve the environment-the Federal Sustainable Development Strategy (FSDS).
Policies or Program
Health-Milk is an important part of a healthy diet. We encourage the public to consume milk to meet the daily dairy requirements of important minerals and vitamins such as Calcium, Vit D, which help prevent osteoporosis. Reference is Canada's food guide.
International Trade-one of the main pillars for the success of Supply management (on which the Dairy industry in Canada is based) is import control. We are also concerned about the import of flavoured milk products which are exempt to tariffs because of the added flavour.
Regulation
Health of Animals Act and Regulations with regards to Cattle Identification and Welfare. Animal welfare is a concern to consumers.
