CCA wrapped up our advocacy week with MPs @JohnBarlowMP, @MADandurand, @shuvmajumdar, and officials from @AAFC_Canada. Our message for Budget 2026: support livestock price insurance so producers can manage risk and grow the herd. We also continued to advocate for no additional Mercosur beef access and tariff-free Canada-US trade.

CCA leadership and staff welcomed Parliamentarians and officials back to session with our Fall BBQ on Parliament Hill. The annual BBQ brings together politicians and producers to share a meal, connect over Canadian beef, and talk about the issues that matter to cattle producers across the country 🇨🇦🥩.

Beautiful day for enjoying some beef on the hill with @CanCattle Thanks for the good conversations @KevinWaugh_CPC WilliamStevenson and @KodyBloisNS @NACattleFeeders

Our beef producers are back on Parliament Hill this week to kick off the Fall sitting welcoming parliamentarians at our annual barbecue. CCA President Tyler Fulton shares our trade priorities and Budget 2026 ask--making Livestock Price Insurance equitable for Canada’s beef producers.

Merci, Monsieur le ministre MacDonald, d'avoir participé à notre barbecue aujourd'hui. Nous vous remercions également d'avoir pris le temps de rencontrer nos dirigeants hier pour écouter nos idées, ainsi que pour votre soutien aux producteurs de viande bovine canadiens.

Thank you Minister MacDonald for joining our barbecue today. We also appreciate you taking the time to meet with our directors yesterday to listen to our ideas and for your support for Canadian beef producers.

Thank you MP Doherty for joining us today and for your support for Canadian cattle producers

Canadian beef has a strong future, and it starts with our producers. I sat down with the Board of Directors of the Canadian Cattle Association, including Kevin Simmons, a cow-calf farmer from PEI, who brings an important Island perspective to the table. Our discussions focused on the priorities that matter most—from opening new markets to finding new ways to grow the herd. Last year, Canada’s cattle herd grew by 3.2 per cent, the largest increase in more than two decades. That’s encouraging momentum, but we know there’s more to do to strengthen the future of Canadian beef. @CanCattle @ManitobaBeef @BovinsNBCattle @SaskCattlemens @albertabeef @BeefFarmersON @NSCattle

CCA's Board of Directors met with Minister @CornwallHeath and officials today to discuss growing Canada's herd, Canada-U.S. relations, and our opposition to any Mercosur beef access. Our pre-budget ask: strengthen Livestock Price Insurance so producers, especially the youth, have the confidence to rebuild and expand. Read more at: cattle.ca/budget-2026-growin…

CCA welcomes Prime Minister @MarkJCarney's announcement today, boosting productivity through the new tax incentive. We will work with @CornwallHeath and @FP_Champagne's offices to ensure farm infrastructure for productivity improvements are eligible (e.g. roller compacted concrete). CCA is working collaboratively with stakeholders and will communicate with members as more details are known. Read the Productivity Mega Deduction announcement: pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…

Canada's cattle producers are ready to deliver on government goals for economic growth, food security, and international competitiveness. To seize that opportunity, producers need the right tools to invest in the future and their herds with confidence. For Budget 2026, CCA recommends including Livestock Price Insurance in Canada's business risk management suite with government cost-shared premiums.

Today, on National Suicide Prevention Day, I want to remind everyone in agriculture and agri-food that you are not alone. Farming and working in our food system can bring incredible pride, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and difficult days. If you’re struggling, please reach out. Talk to a friend, a family member, a neighbour, or someone you trust. You matter, your life matters, and there are people who deeply care about you. You don’t have to face it alone. There is no shame in asking for help. Call 988 from anywhere in Canada, or visit 988.ca.

Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée nationale de prévention du suicide, je tiens à rappeler à tous ceux qui travaillent dans le secteur agricole et agroalimentaire que vous n’êtes pas seuls. L’agriculture et le travail au sein de notre système alimentaire peuvent être source d’une immense fierté, mais ils peuvent aussi être source de stress, d’incertitude et de moments difficiles. Si vous traversez une période difficile, n’hésitez pas à demander de l’aide. Parlez-en à un ami, à un membre de votre famille, à un voisin ou à une personne en qui vous avez confiance. Vous comptez, votre vie compte, et il y a des gens qui tiennent profondément à vous. Vous n’avez pas à affronter cette situation seul. Il n’y a aucune honte à demander de l’aide. Appelez le 988 de n’importe où au Canada, ou visitez 988.ca.
