International Trade- We have an interest in increasing resources for CFIA and CBSA to ensure compliance for imported products. One of the main pillars for the success of supply management (on which the dairy industry in Canada is based) is import control. International Trade – BC Dairy seeks the maximization of allowable permanent Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) allocated to Canadian dairy processors. International Trade - The dairy industry supports maintaining Canada's supply managed agricultural system. When market concessions occur in trade agreements, including the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), we seek federal government mitigation for impacts on dairy farmers. We ask that no domestic dairy market concessions are made in future trade agreements. Health - As per Canada’s food guide, we encourage the public to consume milk to meet the dairy requirements of important vitamins and minerals. We seek for the inclusion of the latest scientific evidence about the nutritional value of dairy products within Canada’s Healthy Eating Strategy on an on-going basis. Environment - We ask the government to support the continued introduction and adoption of clean energy and green technology on farms by providing existing and future sustainability programs with sufficient and ongoing funding. Environment - BC Dairy seeks to engage the government in response to climate events that have impacted the agriculture sector over the past several years and coordinate Emergency Planning, Management & Response moving forward. Consumer Issues - We ask that parliamentarians commit to protecting the current Standards of Identity for Dairy Products, which limit the use of dairy terminology and imagery to animal agriculture. In addition, we ask that these regulations continue to be enforced. Consumer Issues - The perceived quality and safety of Canadian dairy products versus that of imported goods is of paramount concern to the dairy industry. To this end, we have an interest in ensuring the integrity of the Product of Canada and Made in Canada logos by maintaining the current Canadian thresholds and continuing to transparently identify imported content on dairy products. Agriculture - We ask that Canada’s suite of Business risk management (BRM) programs be reviewed and updated with a view to modernizing these programs to increase accessibility and provide optimum support to farmers and producers. Agriculture - BC Dairy is seeking to work with government to address the mounting challenges faced by dairy farmers to reduce production costs. Rising expenses for feed, labour, and other inputs continue to impact dairy farm business sustainability.
