Thank you Honourable Senators!

The amendment to Bill #C234 was defeated in a vote of 42 against, 36 for and 2 abstentions.

Every voice in support matters.

Now let’s get this legislation passed ASAP!

[Senator Rob Black, P. Ag. (Hon) @SenatorRobBlack]

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!

[Dave Carey @davecarey_]

Unbelievable amount of support for Bill #C234 from farmers! @wellsdavid

Debate on Bill #C234 has been shut down in the Senate, with the speaker refusing to allow debate on an amendment that was previously rejected at the #AGFO committee.

#cdnag has waited long enough. Stop the delay and pass #C234!
