I had a great day today at the 105th annual @IPMandRE held at the Lindsay Ag Society fairgrounds. The weather was fine; it was nice to see a lot of familiar faces; important #OntAg issues & concerns were amplified; and I think I bested Ontario’s political leaders in the VIP

September 30th is #NationalDayforTruthAndReconciliation It is a day to reflect on the history and the impacts of residential schools and to honour the resilience of our Indigenous communities. It’s a reminder to listen, learn and support healing. 🧡 #everychildmatters

Another potential port strike looming! #CanAg will continue to be impacted is this labour dispute comes to fruition. There has to be a better way! #AgricultureMatters across Canada.

Another port strike looms on the horizon.The inability of port players to reach agreements typically results in bystanders being held hostage. Canada’s reputation as a reliable trade partner ends up tarnished. There has to be a better way. 🌾🚢 @SenateCA

A prolonged work stoppage by the Grain Workers Union in Vancouver could threaten our national food security. See the co-signed letter sent to Ministers outlining our concerns with another strike in the ag industry. #agandruralmatters @SenateCA

The strike currently blocking CDN Grain from getting to market is, once again, intenable. @SenatorRobBlack @SenatorWallin @SenatorJimQuinn & I have written to ministers requesting immediate action. @AnitaAnandMP @L_MacAulay @stevenmackinnon #JonathanWilkinson #Canada #agriculture

Great to be at the @FoodBevCanada reception last night. There are over 8,700 food and beverage manufacturers in Canada. They are crucial to our food supply chain and our Canadian economic landscape. #agandruralmatters @SenateCA

As farmers harvest their crops, they are heavily dependent on grain dryers. The carbon tax is an unncessary burden for them during this crucial time. Let's pass Bill #C234 and provide much needed relief to our producers. #cdnag #cdnpoli #SupportCDNFarmers

Great to attend the Canadian Cattle Association Fall BBQ. The beef industry contributes $21.8 billion to Canada’s GDP and supports 347,672 full time equivalent jobs. We must recognize and support our cattle industry. #agandruralmatters Senate of Canada - Sénat du Canada
