Greetings, I would like to bring attention to all of my fellow Canadians that the sustainability of goat farming in Canada is at a high risk of perishing. Since 2022, CFIA has closed the borders for importing new breeding genetics.
We need these new breeding genetics from the US in order to sustain our herds. If we are not able to introduce diversified genetics within a very short time frame we will see higher levels of inbreeding, deformation, difficult kidding, low immunity, low performance and a host of other issues.
I have filed a petition to the House of Commons with the support of MP Claude DeBellefeuille and breeders across Canada to urge CFIA to review its importation policy and overall sustainability of goat farming in Canada.
We need 500 votes to move the petition forward and I am seeking your vote to support the petition.
Please review and sign via the link below. Feel free to repost and share the link with as many people as possible: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5199&fbclid=IwY2xjawGLNj9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTdHw55BlnGgQwDCfYY6r6wZI1ZHde7tdOgFq2l_3abBQmie4VXe1C7qFg_aem_vIcwyq2NTzYjASP3rPz8Og
Thank you for your support!
