CPC Issues Important Documents Relating to the Upcoming Federal Election
With the federal election launched last week, political party campaigns and leaders will be travelling across Canada to roll out their platforms. Throughout the next five weeks, CPC will be monitoring the campaigns of the four parties (Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Green Party) that could have government or influence policy and government decisions in the next parliament. They will be documenting comments and commitments that could impact pork producers and sharing that information with members.
