I tabled a motion in Agriculture Committee today to study how we can better protect agricultural land in the future.
319 acres of prime agricultural land is lost every day in Ontario.
Our Agriculture Committee has been studying the horticultural sector and how to improve its climate resilience.
As part of this study, I had the opportunity to question @tialofts from the @CanadaOrganic Trade Association about incentives we could create to help farmers.

To protect farmland and support our farmers, we need data.
It's an important issue I asked Genevieve Grossenbacher, Director of Policy for @FarmersClimate, about it in Agriculture Committee last week.
I'm thrilled to share that Bill C-355: Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter has passed Third Reading in the House and will now move on to the Senate.
Thank you to my colleagues from every party for working with me on this important piece of legislation!

The Township of @wellesley_ca ranks as one of the best places to live in Canada.
Today, I spoke in the House about the investments we've made in Wellesley and across the country through the Universal Broadband Fund to deliver high-speed internet to our rural communities.
Our Canada Carbon Rebate is giving families in Kitchener-Conestoga and across Canada hundreds of dollars every 3 months.
We're making life more affordable for the middle class, while ensuring big polluters pay their fair share.
Very happy to be in Ottawa today to present at the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food on Bill C-355: Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter.
I look forward to working together across party lines, and putting an end to this cruel practice.
Our government is building more homes, faster in #WatReg.
Today, I joined Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to announce $22M for 650 new units over the next 3 years in @citywaterloo!
This is on top of the $42.4M fund agreement to accelerate 1,200+ housing units in @CityKitchener.
And now we really start to fight!!!! https://t.co/VEepmtHXzc WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO!! This bill has passed, but now it goes to the agricultural committee—and then the senate!!
Bill C-355: Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter has passed Second Reading!
I look forward to continue collaborating with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle as this important piece of legislation moves through the House.

We’re taking action to drive down the cost of groceries. We’re calling on the leaders of Canada’s 5 largest grocery chains & going to introduce legislative amendments to the Competition Act to foster more competition in our economy, which would help drive down costs.
I encourage all members of all parties to support Bill C-355, the Prohibition of the Export of Horses by Air for Slaughter Act, which I tabled in the House yesterday. Many Canadians oppose this practice, other countries have bans. It's time for Canada to do the same.
