About the consultation
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), in partnership with the Provinces and Territories, sought feedback from partners as part of its efforts in its Emergency Management renewal activities, including the All-Hazard Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan and the Emergency Management Framework for Agriculture in Canada.
The Framework, first created in 2016, is intended to enhance prevention and mitigation, increase collaborative action and build sector resilience. In May 2023, Federal Provincial and Territorial (FPT) partners agreed to undertake renewal efforts to modernize and adapt the Framework to address the current and future realities of sector emergencies. Through this consultation, AAFC gathered insights on ways to improve the Framework, including identifying goals and actions that could be undertaken to ensure Canada's agriculture and agri-food sector is better equipped to prepare for, respond to, and recover from, emergency events.
AAFC is preparing a report, which will include feedback gathered through this consultation, as well as information received from engagement completed through other channels, including the Food Sector Network and through the National Symposium on Agriculture Emergency Management. Once available, the report will be published to Public opinion research and consultations.
