Parliament pauses. Canada agri food sector dodges a bullet
Ottawa prorogation delays key bills in 2025 facing a confidence vote when MPs return March 24. Bills C-282 and C-293, plus capital gains reforms, are unlikely to pass. C-282 would grant permanent immunity to supply managed poultry dairy and eggs, limiting trade flexibility. C-293 threatens capital gains tax reform, increasing burdens on farmers selling land or quotas. The outcome signals pragmatic policy amid Ottawa volatility.
