OTTAWA, ON, - The Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) today congratulated Prime Minister Mark Carney on the swearing in of his new cabinet and urged quick action on food security.
"The government takes office in unsettled times, with urgent challenges and exciting opportunities to address, including growing Canada's food security," said FVGC Executive Director Massimo Bergamini.
The Liberal election platform recognized the importance of food security and pledged to support Canadian agriculture—including specific commitments to the horticulture sector.
"With trade uncertainty on the rise and growers facing challenges from extreme weather to labour shortages, Canada must act decisively to protect its food supply," said Bergamini. "The best way to safeguard food security for Canadians is to ensure Canadian growers have the tools they need to stay competitive—at home and abroad."
