Season 3, Episode 3
Working Towards a National Food Plan for Canada
In a recent episode ofThe Life of a Servant we talked about the importance of protecting Canada’s fresh water resources.
In this episode we take another trip back to the year 2001 to hear a speech delivered byDennis Mills in Canada’s House of Commons aboutfood security.
On March 20, 2001, Dennis was serving as the Member of Parliament for Toronto-Danforth. As a city MP, Dennis and his team led several efforts to educate and raise awareness among Canada’s urban population about the value of Canada’s family farms.
This speech provides listeners with an audio glimpse into the nation’s boardroom nearly a quarter of a century ago, and how Members of Parliament from all political parties were working towards supporting and bolstering Canada’s family farms, protecting our national food supply, and finding do-able ways to raise our national understanding and appreciation of how our food moves from the fields to our tables.
Twenty-four years later, issues around food prices and how Canada’s food chain works really have taken a front seat on the tables, in the wallets and in the hearts and minds of Canadians.
