Great to see @OntarioFarms and @CFAFCA director Mark Reusser in the @SenateCA public gallery this afternoon. Too bad we didn’t get further with the vote on C-234 because of games played by certain colleagues. As a result #CdnAg suffers for another few weeks!

Unbelievable amount of support for Bill #C234 from farmers! @wellsdavid
#cdnag #cdnpoli #cdnpolitics
Today’s mail only - received in my office in support of C-234! Yes… that is two boxes of #10 envelopes! And over 1400 emails in the last week! I hope my Senate colleagues who have further delayed this important bill are getting this number and many more! #CdnAg speaks out!!

“Currently, that requirement is preventing TFWs at 🍄farms, 🥩 packing plants &other agri-food jobs from becoming perm residents. “…if they want to stay, why is the immigration department preventing it?” @CitImmCanada #cdnag #foodie #Election2021 @markcham69 @albertapork @CMCCVC
