A Notice to BCAC Members and Agriculture Stakeholders:
Feedback Requested: Improving Canada's approach to emergency management in agriculture.
Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) agriculture ministers have committed to improving Canada’s approach to emergency management in agriculture and want your ideas and feedback. Emergency management is most effective when it reflects the combined thinking of governments and stakeholders.
FPT governments have jointly drafted the Strategic Emergency Management Framework for Agriculture in Canada. The Framework recognizes the evolving and increasingly complex risks faced by the Canadian agriculture sector, and proposes a stronger, more cohesive and collaborative approach to preventing, mitigating, preparing for, responding to and recovering from emergencies.
Go online to read the draft Framework, participate in the consultation and share your ideas. The consultation is open until March 11, 2016.
Please contact AgEM-GUAg@AGR.GC.CA if you have any questions about the consultation or would like to request the consultation documents in an alternative format.
We look forward to hearing from you!
