Fertilizer Canada supports Bill C-273, Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act

Fertilizer Canada supports Bill C-273, Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act, as a practical step toward modernizing Canada’s regulatory framework and ensuring farmers have the tools they need to grow healthy, hearty crops. By building on previous efforts and expanding to include fertilizers, this legislation creates a real opportunity to strengthen our collaboration with regulators like the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and reduce unnecessary red tape.

It’s a clear example of how government can advance the competitiveness of Canadian farmers while maintaining strong standards. Bill C-273 and the recent re-examination of bulk labelling requirements demonstrate a positive effort to reduce regulatory burden in agriculture, and we look forward to continuing to work with Parliamentarians to strengthen the industry.
