432-00531 Animals
Petition to the House of Commons
We, the undersigned citizens of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
Whereas, the Government of Canada has proposed amendments to the Health of Animals Regulations, Part XV (15) (Livestock identification and traceability) which pose a threat to the future of agricultural exhibitions, fairs, and rodeos;
Whereas, these proposed changes would place onerous regulations on volunteer-run agricultural exhibitions fairs, and rodeos and discourage their operation;
Whereas, Provincial and National Associations for Agricultural Societies, Exhibitions, and Fairs have raised serious concerns with the proposed regulatory changes;
Whereas, agricultural exhibitions, fairs, and rodeos are a pillar of Western Canadian heritage and enjoyed by Canadians across the country.
Therefore we, the undersigned, call on the House of Commons to take the following actions to address the situation:
1. Consult carefully with Agricultural Societies, Exhibitions, and Fairs in developing these regulations.
2. Ensure that new traceability requirements do the operations of Agricultural Societies, Exhibitions, and Fairs so that future generations can continue to enjoy these pillars of Western Canadian heritage.
