In their own words

• Government of Canada – Red tape reduction / regulatory and administrative burden, in respect of reducing cumulative and duplicative compliance requirements affecting fruit and vegetable growers (including repetitive reporting, overlapping inspection/audit documentation, and inconsistent data/format requirements across federal programs and regulations), and advancing streamlined, outcome-based approaches that maintain food safety and environmental protections while improving sector competitiveness.
• Communicate with government officials on the importance of: ensuring that horticulture is reflected in trade policy, improving safeguards against import surges; maintaining the status quo regarding the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA); and the need for stable, predictable access to the U.S. market.
• Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Regulatory Modernization Plan, with regards to the Perimeter Security action plan, to speed up legitimate trade and travel, improve security in North America, and align regulatory approaches between the two countries.
