CFFO expresses its support for Bill C-273, known as the Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act (FARM Act), introduced by David Bexte, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Bow River. This legislation aims to enhance the approval process for registering new products for farmers in Ontario. Frequently, the delays caused by excessive red tape and redundant regulatory reviews have put them at a disadvantage. As a prominent exporting nation, it is essential for Ontario farmers to remain competitive with their international counterparts.
