Liberals are cutting critical agricultural research

August 25, 2026

Food prices are putting pressure on families across Canada, while farmers face growing challenges to produce the food we rely on.

Agricultural research helps farmers improve yields, use inputs more efficiently and develop better practices for the future. Yet the Liberal government is cutting this critical research, including at stations that have driven innovation in Canadian agriculture for decades.

At a time when families are struggling with grocery costs, we should be strengthening Canadian agriculture. We should never cut the tools farmers rely on.

Watch as Jeremy Patzer and I discuss food security, agricultural research and the future of Canadian farming on The Blueprint: Canada’s Conservative Podcast.
