Mr. Speaker, the second petition is signed by nearly 5,000 petitioners.
The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to look at the issue of emissions from the agricultural sector in Canada; these emissions are second only to those of oil and gas. The petitioners note that reducing animal food consumption can help meet our climate targets.
The petitioners are calling on the Government of Canada to educate Canadians on plant-based diets, source more plant-based foods in federal programs and support sustainable farming.
