The CFFO would like a commitment from our next government to disallow extraction of aggregates from our best farmland. The interest in local food has exploded in the last number of years. The CFFO wants our political parties to commit to exploring a variety of ways to increase the opportunity for this emerging market, from dedicated food belts to artisan opportunities to procurement policies for local institutions. Finally, government support for research into import replacement targeting the specific dietarypreferences of our diverse ethnic community would greatly help farmers and consumers connect in a meaningful way. Finally, the issue of how animal welfare complaints are dealt with is one that is growing for many farmers in Ontario. There is growing concern that steps need to be taken to change the way that these issues are handled in our province. The Christian Farmers hope that our future government will be willing to look at improving how these issues are dealt with for farmers. Provincial elections are an opportunity for Ontarians to make their voice heard about the direction of this province. For some, their minds are already made up, but for others, the decision on whom to support is still up in the air. The CFFO believes that there are serious issues for farmers that need to be considered when casting their vote on election day.
