We write today to express our profound concern with Bill C-202 and the negative impact it will have on Canada’s economy and trade as well as our unease with the possible fast tracking of the legislation through the House of Commons.
Bill C-202 is identical to Bill C-282 which did not pass through parliament in the last session and created an unnecessary divide amongst the agriculture sector as well as parliamentarians. The bill is a political wedge and has serious repercussions for Canada’s economy that relies on trade.
