Mr. Speaker, the final petition I would like to present today is on behalf of Canadian organic growers who are concerned about the closure of the organic and regenerative research program at the Swift Current Research and Development Centre.
Petitioners note that this was the only dedicated organic research initiative within Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Therefore, they call on the government to reinstate the program and strengthen public research in organic and regenerative agriculture within Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to align with the government's own goals of increasing agricultural exports abroad.
