Resolution

Department: Canadian Federation of Agriculture & Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

WHEREAS budgeting for public research by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada has declined dramatically since 1994; and

WHEREAS public agriculture research, particularly through research stations, has produced a very high return on investment and contributed enormous direct economic benefit to agricultural producers;

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS work through the CFA and with organizations with similar objectives to lobby the federal government to restore core funding levels for public agriculture research to 1994 levels.
