“Plant-based foods are good for Canada's economy and our farmers. We need to work with farmers and make sensible policies to help this industry grow. I also want to welcome our visitors from Denmark and World Animal Protection Canada.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the growing importance of Canada’s plant-based industry for our economy, our farmers and our future. Across the country, producers are diversifying into plant-based proteins, creating new markets, strengthening supply chains and adding value to Canadian crops. This sector is driving innovation, supporting rural communities and positioning Canada as a leader in sustainable agriculture. I believe this growth must be built in partnership with producers that have practical, market-driven policies grounded in the realities of those who feed our communities. Finally, I am delighted to acknowledge a distinguished delegation from Denmark, along with members of World Animal Protection Canada, who are visiting Ottawa this week and whose insights are advancing this important conversation.”
