Thank you Minister MacDonald for launching the soil strategy. CCA has been a longtime supporter and active participant in SCCC’s National Soil Health Strategy working group because soil health is foundational to resilient beef production. Healthy soils support productive grazing lands, climate resilience and progress toward beef’s 2030 sustainability goals. CCA is committed to staying engaged as this Strategy moves forward. Special thanks to @SenatorRobBlack for championing Bill S‑230—and to the Senate Agriculture & Forestry Committee for the Critical Ground report—whose leadership helped set the stage for today’s momentum.

Canada’s beef exports delivered strong growth in 2025, highlighting continued global demand. Strong global demand, combined with Canada’s reputation for quality, sustainability and food safety, continues to create important opportunities for Canadian beef.

We appreciate Minister of Agriculture & Agri-Food @CornwallHeath and Deputy Minister Lawrence Hanson joining CCA'S AGM today. Thank you for making time to answer questions and for a discussion about challenges and opportunities.
