During various sessions of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, representatives from industry groups have highlighted the difficulties arising when truckers exhaust their allowable driving hours before reaching final destinations or designated feed and water locations for livestock along their routes.
“Said Barbara Cartwright, CEO of Humane Canada. We don’t support a system that prioritizes the current supply chain structure over the welfare of hundreds of millions of animals that are raised and slaughtered for food.”
