Last week, we wrote a letter to the Minister of Labour of Canada demanding action to avert the threatened strike at the Port of Montreal. Canada’s reputation as a reliable provider of foodstuffs is being threatened by our inability to resolve the ongoing issues at our ports and on our railways.
Another strike will be disastrous for Canadian Agriculture and Canadian Farmers. Please add your voice and tell Ottawa it is time to stop the strike before it is too late. You can call or send a letter to your MP. You can also send a message through this website: https://stopthestrike.ca
We have been patient as we have waited for over 25 months for a resolution to the dispute between the Port and its workers. It is difficult to imagine there will be a negotiated settlement. Please encourage the Government of Canada to employ every available mechanism to ensure the continuation of vital value-added container trade through the Port of Montreal. |

HENSALL Hensall Co-op Chief Executive Officer Brad Chandler appeared before the International Trade Committee on Monday February 22nd to provide our perspective on Bill C18, “An Act to implement the Agreement on Trade Continuity between Canada and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
The UK and Northern Ireland are critical markets for Hensall Co-op and Brad outlined the importance of free trade with them. The plant protein market is forecast to grow by a factor of 18 times by 2030 and it is critical that we are not faced with tariffs or quotas as this would substantially reduce growth opportunities for Canadian farmers.
We are grateful to Huron-Bruce Member of Parliament Ben Lobb who is on the committee. Mr. Lobb asked several questions to reinforce the key issues. This was extremely important given some members of the committee are not very familiar with agriculture.
We are pleased to have been given the opportunity to stand for Canadian farmers at the House of Commons and we will continue to do so whenever and wherever we can.
