Description

Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing industry operates in a policy environment often marked by short-term and reactive measures, which discourage investment and limit growth opportunities. Achieving the industry’s full potential requires a shift toward a forward-looking policy framework focused on enhancing productivity and competitiveness.

Join us for a panel discussion on the critical needs of this essential industry to thrive, compete, and lead both domestically and globally. Industry leaders will address the unique challenges and opportunities for growth, highlighting how a supportive policy environment can position Canada as a global leader in food production and bolster food security at home and abroad. Panelists will also explore the impact of the recent U.S. election, examining how changes south of the border could influence opportunities for the industry in Canada.

Confirmed speakers:

1. Kristina Farrell - Chief Executive Officer, Food and Beverage Canada
2. Darlene McBain - Director, Industry Relations, Farm Credit Canada
3. Steve Verheul - Principal, gt&co and Canada's former Chief Trade Negotiator, overseeing agreements such as the new NAFTA (CUSMA/USCMA) and the Canada-European Trade Agreement.
4. Candace Laing - President & Chief Executive Officer, Canadian Chamber of Commerce
