Pistaches. Huîtres. Pâte à tartiner au chocolat. Vinaigrette. Les rappels de produits alimentaires sont en hausse au Canada. Alors pourquoi Carney réduit-il les inspections alimentaires ? Agissez pour défendre la sécurité alimentaire : www.mangersansdanger.ca

L'été est le moment idéal pour déguster de délicieuses huîtres canadiennes. Mais pour pouvoir profiter de nos excellents produits de la mer, nous avons besoin d'inspecteurs qui veillent à la sécurité de nos aliments. Or, alors que les rappels alimentaires se multiplient, Carney coupe l'ACIA.

Summer is a great time to kick back and enjoy some refreshing Canadian oysters. But in order to enjoy our great local seafood, we need food inspectors to keep the food on our plates safe. And with food recalls on the rise, the Carney government is cutting the CFIA. #FoodSafetyFirst #ProtectOurFood

Le 6 juillet, le Conseil du Trésor oblige plusieurs de nos membres, ainsi que des milliers d’autres fonctionnaires, à retourner au bureau quatre jours par semaine. Leur plan est un désastre : Logique = 0 Rationalité = 0 Coût pour les contribuables = 6 milliards de dollars

On July 6th, the Treasury Board is forcing many of our members, along with thousands of other public servants, back to the office 4 days a week. Their plan is a disaster: Logic = 0 Rational = 0 Cost to taxpayers = $6 billion

That new National Food Security Strategy has one important blind spot - how will the Carney government boost domestic food production while also cutting hundreds of jobs & millions of public research dollars at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada? Take action to stop cuts to AAFC - foodsafetyfirst.ca

Treasury Board members were back at the bargaining table last week in a tough round of negotiations. The employer's insulting increase offer - 1%. But our AAFC members were out in full force to support their bargaining team! Here are a few photos from support events in Benton, NB and Fredericton.

An in-depth article in The Walrus magazine today looks at the massive hole that Carney's cuts to AAFC will leave in the farming community. This despite the fact that last week's agriculture committee report unanimously urged the government to roll back the cuts. A must-read.

The latest report from the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture made one thing clear: the government needs to immediately cancel its plans to close public agricultural research facilities. Read the latest from the @nationalobserver.com here. @psac-afpc.bsky.social @nfucanada.bsky.social

The unanimous findings of yesterday's report from the Standing Committee on Agriculture confirm what agricultural workers and communities have been saying for months: these closures will cause lasting harm to workers, farmers, food security, and Canada’s ability to respond to climate change.

We cautiously welcome the government’s announcement of a National Food Security Strategy in the Spring Economic Update. But the strategy appears incoherent: how can the government commit to food security while simultaneously laying off nearly 600 CFIA employees? www.agrunion.com/spring-updat...

Nous accueillons avec une certaine réserve l’annonce faite par le gouvernement fédéral, dans la mise à jour économique du printemps, concernant une stratégie nationale de sécurité alimentaire. Mais cette stratégie semble incohérente. Lire la suite: www.syndicatagr.com/mise-a-jour-...

Thank you @avilewis.ca for your solidarity with the nearly 600 CFIA workers who are set to lose their jobs under Carney's cuts. We too are skeptical of how the government intends to launch a national food security strategy, while at the same time cutting the very workers who inspect our food.

1) Le laboratoire de l'ACIA à Longueuil constitue un filet de sécurité essentiel pour les 3 millions de Canadien-ne-s qui souffrent d'allergies alimentaires. Il devait fermer ses portes d'ici quelques jours, mais le gouvernement a reporté cette fermeture jusqu'en 2028.

Vous payez déjà trop cher vos courses. Et maintenant, les géants d'alimentation vous mentent et vous arnaquent. Pendant ce temps, Carney coupe le budget de l'ACIA, la seule agence capable de mettre fin à ces pratiques. Ça suffit. ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/224...

Canadian grocery store giants are ripping you off. This time, they've been caught overcharging for underweight meat, again. And while you're being gouged at the checkout line, Carney is cutting the CFIA - one agency dedicated to fighting food fraud. Make it make sense. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
