Covid-19 Update – April 1, 2020

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

“Our agricultural sector bears a significant burden during this crisis, while ensuring our stores continue to have safe and affordable food,” said MP Arnold Viersen.  “That is why I wholeheartedly support MP John Barlow’s call for the federal government to declare the agriculture sector as critical infrastructure during this crisis.”

 

“I also urge the federal government to eliminate the carbon tax all together. This is not the time to be driving up every day costs for Canadians, and particularly for the farmers growing our food.”
