1/9 Canada's largest manufacturing industry isn't automotive or aerospace.
It's FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING.
Today, @FoodBevCanada is releasing new research from @CdnAgriFood on the enormous economic opportunity to expand food manufacturing in Canada.
Belle rencontre mardi avec les députés du Bloc Québécois @seblemire et @A_Larouche_Shef. Selon notre rapport avec l’ICPA, le secteur pourrait générer 75,1 G$ de PIB réel cumulatif supplémentaire d’ici 2035. Le Québec est bien placé pour en profiter!
Budget 2026 is Thursday.
Cdn’s food & beverage manufacturing industry could unlock up to $75.1B in additional cumulative GDP by 2035.
The opportunity is clear. Now we need the right conditions to invest, modernize and grow here at home.

ADDITIONAL PRIORITIES
Our recs also call for:
✅ Harmonized packaging EPR rules
✅ Relief from tariffs that raise manufacturing costs
✅ Ending automatic alcohol excise increases
A more competitive operating environment means more opportunity for Cdn manufacturing.

THE ASK
Canada’s National Food Security Strategy sets ambitious goals for domestic processing.
Budget 2026 must help turn those ambitions into manufacturing investment.
The more we manufacture here, the more value we keep here.

Merci à Daniel Gobeil, nouveau secrétaire parlementaire du ministre de l’Agriculture et de l’Agroalimentaire, pour cet échange constructif sur les priorités de notre industrie : investissement, compétitivité et renforcement de la capacité de transformation alimentaire au Canada.
Thank you @JohnBarlowMP for meeting with us to discuss how we can support Cdn's largest manufacturing sector - food and beverage manufacturing, employing more than 318,000 Canadians. #cdnagri #cdnpoli
Canada's food and bev manufacturing industry could generate up to $75.1B in additional cumulative GDP by 2035.
But unlocking that potential requires stronger investment, smarter regulation & workforce solutions.
Thanks to @westernproducer for highlighting our new CAPI report.
We are bringing a straight forward message to the Hill: Canada’s largest manufacturing industry deserves an industrial strategy that reflects its economic important and growth potential. #cdnpoli
We’re on Parliament Hill today with food & bev manufacturing leaders doing what @FoodBevCanada does best - bringing our industry’s voice to federal decision-makers to advocate for policies that help companies compete, invest & grow. #cdnagri

BCFB CEO James Donaldson wrote an opinion piece for Business in Vancouver on the proposed ALR changes. It's an opportunity that could give farmers more buyers, steadier contracts & a local market for their crops without compromising B.C.’s best farmland!

Food security is national security. But we can't strengthen either without investing in the facilities, technology and workers needed to manufacture more food here.
