The Federal Election 2025 results are in! CPMA congratulates Prime Minister Carney and welcomes the Members of the 45th Parliament. We look forward to working with all parties to position the Canadian fresh produce sector for success, now and as we look to the future.
CPMA members can use this template letter to welcome their local Member of Parliament.
CPMA has been actively engaged in representing the fresh produce industry in federal election efforts, including meetings and submissions to all parties outlining key issues of importance to the industry. Our recommendations for 2025 federal party platforms focused on five priority areas:
- Advancing Canadian interests in international trade
- Increasing produce consumption for healthier communities
- Fueling a competitive and resilient produce supply chain
- Building the fresh produce workforce
- Supporting a sustainable produce sector
Throughout the election campaign, the major federal parties have made a variety of commitments with potential impact to the fresh fruit and vegetable industry. On April 29, CPMA sent a letter to Prime Minister Carney, outlining our recommendations for key actions for consideration in his mandate letters to incoming Cabinet Ministers.
