KAP Outlines Federal Election Priorities

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) President Bill Campbell says the next federal government needs to focus on restoring trade for products grown and produced in Canada.

 

“The next federal government needs to focus on the importance of the agriculture industry and stand up for the millions of Canadians that are employed in our sector, including farmers like me,” Campbell said. “Trade for Canadian agricultural products is expected to grow by 50% by the year 2050, and politicians of all stripes need to work with partners around the world to ensure our products continue to find open markets.”

 

KAP is calling on the federal parties to focus on three areas: stronger Business Risk Management (BRM) programming, a plan to address labour shortages, and effective climate change investments that recognize the stewardship of Canadian farmers.
