Bill

Bill S-227, An Act to establish Food Day in Canada

Vote

Yea.

Rationale

Supporting this Bill sends the message that the government values connections and trust between consumers and food producers, while also valuing the ability of local food systems to offer a variety of choices to consumers. The government would show it recognizes inequities in food systems across the country and is willing to propose concrete solutions to address them. This Bill fills a void, since no official, federally designated day exists to celebrate the contribution of this sector to Canada.

Passed.
