Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay, lawyer, former federal cabinet minister, and former Member of Parliament, gives evidence on concerns raised by farmers who fear speaking publicly about their dealings with regulators, particularly the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Her testimony addresses threats of withheld payments, bureaucratic coercion, rising compliance costs, agricultural decline, leased farmland insecurity, right-to-repair issues, water permits, disaster response, and broader concerns about property rights and governance affecting the safety and future of farming in Canada.
