Subject Matter Details

Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit, Policies or Program

• Discussions regarding Canada’s Standards of Identity for Dairy Products. We ask that parliamentarians commit to protecting the current Standards of Identity for Dairy Products, which limit the use of dairy terminology and imagery to animal agriculture. In addition, we ask that these regulations continue to be enforced.
• Discussions regarding federal funding to establish and maintain a Canadian vaccine bank for Foot-and-Mouth Disease.
• Discussions regarding government support for clean-tech. As government becomes involved in discussions around climate change, they advocate for programs and incentives that help farmers continue adopting innovations to meet our environmental targets.
• Discussions regarding support from the federal and provincial governments to bring new processing capacity to life in Ontario.

Policies or Program

• Ask government to ensure that both the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) have the resources and training programs they need to adequately enforce dairy regulations and production standards.
• Government not grant any additional access to our Canadian dairy market in any future free trade agreement and protect Canadian sovereignty in future trade deals.
• Seek to maintain Canada’s current position on agriculture and supply management
