Canada is without a comprehensive food policy—lagging behind other industrial countries in the OECD. The United Nations has raised serious concerns about food security in Aboriginal communities and the lack of a coordinated food strategy in Canada. New Democrats have a vision for our food system, one that connects Canadians from farm to fork. Join me in calling on the federal government to implement the NDPs pan-Canadian food strategy to promote sustainable agricultural communities, support local agriculture, foster agricultural businesses, ensure safety and transparency and make healthy food accessible for all Canadians.
