Our Priorities

Let our makers make—today and for Canada’s future

Food, health, and consumer products drive Canada’s economy and are essential to Canadians’ daily lives. In 2025, every candidate for office should commit to taking action that will strengthen Canada’s top manufacturing sector and protect our essential supply chains.

Now is the time for the government to work with us to stimulate food, health, and consumer product manufacturing. Read more about our 2025 priorities here.

According to national polling conducted in January 2025, 42% of Canadians rank food, health, and consumer product affordability as their top priority. More than half feel deeply stressed about the price of food and consumer goods.

We want to work with the government to provide relief for this strain on Canadians’ household budgets by eliminating needless taxes and fees that inflate prices for consumers and make it harder for them to access the products they need.

Overly burdensome and outdated regulations make it impossible to secure the domestic and foreign investment needed to keep our economy strong. 80% of Canadians believe that modernizing outdated regulations and cutting red tape is crucial for Canadian businesses to innovate, grow, and meet consumers’ needs. 60% of Canadians believe that cutting red tape for food and health products would speed up approvals without compromising safety.

We see many opportunities to work with the government to cut red tape and modernize regulations so that businesses can thrive and deliver safe, affordable essential products for Canadian families. 

In the face of global challenges, such as the long-lasting impacts of the Covid pandemic and potential trade disputes with the United States, Canada must prioritize our self-sufficiency. 80% of Canadians think the government should prioritize Canada-first policies for critical supply chains in food, health, and consumer products.
