BC Dairy is seeking to work with government to address the mounting challenges faced by dairy farmers due to soaring production costs. Rising expenses for feed, labour, and other inputs continue to impact dairy farm business sustainability. BC Dairy seeks to engage with government to ensure the sustainability of this vital sector's ability to feed communities. We ask that Canada’s suite of BRM programs be reviewed and updated with a view to modernizing these programs to increase accessibility and provide optimum support to farmers and producers.

Consumer Issues - The perceived quality and safety of Canadian dairy products versus that of imported goods is of paramount concern to the dairy industry. To this end, we have an interest in ensuring the integrity of the Product of Canada and Made in Canada logos by maintaining the current Canadian thresholds and continuing to transparently identify imported content on 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.

International Trade - The dairy industry supports maintaining Canada's supply managed agricultural system. One of the main pillars for the success of supply management (on which the dairy industry in Canada is based) is import control. We have an interest in increasing resources for CFIA and CBSA to ensure compliance for imported products.

International Trade - When market concessions occur in trade agreements, including the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), we seek federal government mitigation for impacts on dairy farmers and to uphold Canada's sovereignty over its domestic policies. We encourage swift passage of Bill C-282 in the Senate.
