OTTAWA — The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) congratulates Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberal Party of Canada on their election victory and welcomes them back to office.
“A strong, resilient agriculture sector is vital to the health, economy, and security of our entire nation,” said CFA President Keith Currie. “As Canada faces increasing pressures from international trade tensions, now is the time for strong leadership and bold investment in the competitiveness and resilience of Canada’s agricultural sector. By strengthening agriculture, we safeguard Canada’s food sovereignty, create good jobs, and build a secure and prosperous future for Canadians. Coming out of this election, we need to seize the unique opportunity today’s challenges present to truly realize Canadian agriculture’s potential for all Canadians.”
Currie continued, “We also extend our congratulations to all newly elected and returning Members of Parliament. We look forward to working across party lines for the betterment of Canadian agriculture.”
The CFA is eager to meet with the new government and Parliamentarians to begin advancing key priorities. These include supporting farmers through significant global trade uncertainty and the impacts of tariffs, reducing interprovincial trade barriers, enhancing Business Risk Management programs to make farms more resilient, and investing in Canada’s trade infrastructure among other recommendations that you can find on CFA’s election platform priorities webpage.
