Every day, billions of dollars in Canadian goods move through our trade corridors.
Canadian pulse growers, exporters and the many sectors that depend on reliable supply chains count on that movement being predictable.
As proposed, Bill C-39 would allow the Government to act only after a strike or lockout has begun, even when there is clear evidence of significant economic harm.
A targeted amendment to section 107 of the Canada Labour Code would give the Government a #WindowToAct in exceptional circumstances, before preventable damage to Canada’s economy and its reputation as a dependable supplier.

Bill C-39 is now before committee & includes labour measures Canada’s grain sector asked for. Our two proposed amendments would make those measures work in practice, so labour disruptions are addressed before they stop Canada’s rail & port system. Reliable trade corridors keep Canada a dependable supplier.
See our recommendations & send a letter to the committee at ow.ly/f8cM51033Om #CdnAg #CdnPulse #BillC39 #SupplyChain #westcdnag

Everyone takes something a little different away from CrossRoads.
For some, it's a new idea or perspective that changes how they approach something on the farm.
What's one thing you've taken away from a past CrossRoads conference?

As a scientist, I spent a lot of time doing small plot research. There is much valuable information to be learned when we have the ability to apply treatments in a controlled manner.
Sometimes, however, there are translational challenges between research plots and on-farm realities.
There are limitations to field-scale trials to be sure (confounding variables lurk everywhere) BUT within appropriate protocols and hypothesis they can provide an important link in the continuum between theory and practice.

@RDARAlberta thanks for your support and understanding the importance of the final mile.
Dr. Jagroop Gill Kahlon and Dr. Mahnoor Asif; they are the superstar teammates.

As a farmer I am FOCUSED on the yield, and working through its justification... 63bu/acre. That's field average across 128 acres - BUT there were sig areas that drowned out so my ACTUAL yield was 85. That feels better.
What I often (always) fail to recognize is that this bag of beans feeds people - real people, a lot of people. Maybe we need to start focusing on that, and communicating that (and writing it large on the side of our grain bags).
I am a farmer. I grow pulses. I am a CRITICAL contributor to nutritional security.
And that concludes todays Grain Bag School, you are dismissed :)
