Darr presented six principal concerns with Alberta’s Bill 22: sharply increased penalties without a defined schedule; broad enforcement discretion with limited accountability; vague language permitting wide interpretation; no clear definition of accepted agricultural practices; broad power to alter future regulations; and what she described as inadequate consultation with working farmers. She argued that seizure, quarantine, custody, transport, veterinary, and legal costs can cause severe financial harm even before wrongdoing is established, and that farmers need clear standards, meaningful review mechanisms, appropriately trained enforcement officers, and explicit statutory protection for responsible agricultural practices.
