60% of Canadian households own at least one cat or dog. I doubt 60% of Canadians own a cow. So why do companion animals fall under the Ministry of Agriculture? It's time for @MarkJCarney to appoint a Parliamentary Secretary. @SophieChatel1 @KarenMessier

J'exhorte @andrelamontagn2 @mapaquebec à revoir sa position dans sa feuille de route "Tous engagés pour le bien-être des animaux de compagnie"

La tournée de consultations sur le bien-être animal est formelle: @mapaquebec doit réglementer TOUS les éleveurs, sans exception!
Inacceptable que cette demande soit ignorée. Pourquoi seuls les éleveurs de 15+ animaux sont encadrés quand 50%+ des foyers québécois ont un animal?

Deux ans après la consultation nationale sur le bien-être animal, toujours AUCUN plan d'action! Cette inaction de @mapaquebec démontre un désintérêt inquiétant pour une cause touchant 50% des foyers québécois. Qu'attendez-vous pour agir? https://t.co/3DmWbUh3qd

The primary source of #manitoba family companions—breeders—remains largely unregulated. For this reason, I am including @MBGovAg Manitoba Minister of Agriculture as a key decision maker in my petition.

In this #OntarioElection , candidates should address the critical oversight of pet breeding: breeder licensing remains woefully inadequate. @OntarioPCParty @BonnieCrombie @OntLiberal @OntarioGreens @OntarioNDP

Companion animals are more than just pets—they are family members, and it’s time for Canadian elected officials to recognize and prioritize their significance.

Pass it on.
