    Observations to the second report of the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry (Bill S-227)

    Following the testimonies of Food Day Canada volunteers, the committee recognizes the need for an appropriate governance structure of the Food Day Canada brand. In addition, the committee would like to note the benefits such a structure would provide to further engage and support the Canadian agriculture and agri-food industry in the future. The committee would welcome an update on their progress when governance efforts are finalized.
