An Act respecting the development of a national strategy for soil health protection, conservation and enhancement
Overall, the bill aligns with Build Canada’s tenets by strengthening the foundations of agricultural productivity, resilience, and export potential, though it is primarily a planning instrument. Its ultimate growth impact depends on execution details, funding, and whether it catalyzes market-driven innovation rather than adding bureaucracy.
No question period cards yet.
Healthier soils underpin a more productive, resilient agriculture sector, supporting long-run prosperity and food security.
It creates a planning and reporting framework; whether it streamlines or adds bureaucracy depends on how the strategy is executed.
Improved soil health can raise yields, reduce input losses, and enhance resilience, boosting farm productivity and competitiveness.
More reliable, higher-quality crop output supports export growth and strengthens Canada’s reputation in global agri-food markets.
Emphasis on research, data, education, and knowledge-sharing can accelerate adoption of innovative agronomic and ag-tech practices.
National coordination might reduce duplication, but new reporting obligations add administrative costs; net efficiency impact is unclear.
No tax measures are included.
A national strategy is system-level in scope but lacks concrete, large-scale actions or targets; outcomes hinge on future implementation.
