Dairy Farmers of Canada Eager to Work with New Government
USAgNet - 10/23/2019
Dairy Farmers of Canada congratulates Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party on winning the 2019 federal election, and forming a minority government. DFC also extends its congratulations to Mr. Scheer and the Conservative party for forming the
official opposition, and to all opposition leaders for a hard-fought campaign.
In the context of a minority government, support from all parties for dairy issues becomes essential. Throughout the campaign, all parties with MP's elected to the House of Commons today have taken positions in support of dairy farmers, and we thank them for
their commitments.
During the campaign, the parties pledged to compensate dairy farmers for trade agreement-related losses, and committed to no more concessions in future trade agreements, as well as being favourable to keeping the current Canadian content threshold to ensure
transparency for the "Product of Canada" label.
