Geopolitical instability and global trade tensions have shown us the importance of producing staple food within our borders.
Passing C-282 would send a clear signal to our trading partners that supply management and our country’s food security can’t be negotiated away.
A recent survey by Abacus Data confirmed 97 per cent of Canadians feel it’s important that Canada has strong domestic food supply chains. For eggs, this simply would not be possible without supply management.
Through supply management, we have been able to transform egg farming over the last half-century through national programs and protocols that consistently deliver high quality, safe eggs to Canadians.
