Petition Text
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
Whereas:
• Canadian farmers often wait significantly longer than their international competitors to access innovative agricultural products that have already undergone rigorous scientific review and approval by trusted foreign regulatory authorities;
• Duplicative regulatory reviews can delay access to agricultural technologies, limiting productivity gains and reducing the ability of Canadian farmers to compete in global markets;
• Prolonged approval timelines can result in lost economic opportunities for Canadian farmers, agri-businesses, researchers, and innovators by delaying access to products and technologies already available to competitors in comparable jurisdictions;
• Modernizing regulatory processes can reduce unnecessary duplication while maintaining Canada's high standards for health, safety, and environmental protection; and
• Timely access to proven agricultural innovations can strengthen domestic food security, support farm sustainability, and contribute to a more resilient Canadian agricultural sector.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to support and swiftly pass Bill C-273, the Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act (FARM Act), to establish a 90-day provisional approval pathway for agricultural inputs that have already been approved by at least two recognized international regulatory authorities.
