Federal Government Launches Consultations for a Sustainable Agriculture Strategy

(December 12, 2022 Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada News Release) The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced the launch of consultations to develop a Sustainable Agriculture Strategy (SAS) in collaboration with a diversity of partners.

Minister Bibeau made the announcement alongside her parliamentary secretary Francis Drouin, Terry Duguid, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Mary Robinson, President of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA), and Martin Caron, President of the Union des producteurs agricoles and board member of the CFA.

The Strategy will serve as a guide to support the livelihoods of farmers while growing a sustainable sector. By identifying goals and a way forward, Canada’s agriculture sector will be equipped to recover quickly from extreme events, thrive in a changing climate, contribute to world food security, while also contributing to Canada’s overall efforts to cut emissions.

Producers have already taken action on sustainability in a wide range of ways. The Government of Canada wants to amplify the work already underway and increase adoption of these best practices. Their expertise will be used to

identify the best solutions in the development of the Strategy.

The Strategy will be developed in close collaboration with the agricultural sector. Provinces and territories will be engaged through the consultation phase and focus on how to best work collaboratively towards developing the strategy. The process will include public consultations, targeted workshops and an Advisory Committee. Cochaired by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the CFA, the advisory committee will be comprised of industry experts, including producers and representatives of associations and non-governmental organizations.

These members will collaborate to identify shared challenges and solutions as we take steps towards finalizing the Strategy in the next year. The Committee’s inaugural meeting occurred December 12.

The overarching and integrated strategy will focus on five priority issues – soil health, climate adaptation and resilience, water, climate change mitigation, and biodiversity.

As part of the consultation process, a discussion document is now available for comment. Consultations run until March 31, 2023.

Governments of Canada and Manitoba Invest Over

$600,000 to Establish Project Aspire Hub

(December 15, 2022 Federal/Provincial News Release)

As part of its ongoing work to position Manitoba as a global leader in sustainable protein, the governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing more than $600,000 through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) to establish a hub that supports the implementation of Project ASPIRE (Accelerating Sustainable Protein Impact and Results), federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Manitoba Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson announced.

“The ASPIRE Hub is a tremendous example of protein industry stakeholders working together towards a strategic vision,” said Bibeau. “Engaging the entire value-chain will improve competitiveness and long-term growth of Manitoba’s protein sector.”

“Since launching the Manitoba Protein Advantage Strategy in 2019, our government has continually supported the sustainable growth of the province’s protein industry, recognizing that positioning Manitoba as a global protein supplier of choice will benefit the profitability and competitiveness of local producers and processors and the provincial economy as a whole,” said Johnson. “Project ASPIRE – a concerted and co-ordinated team effort advancing the strategy – is gaining momentum, making it the opportune time to establish this hub.”

The Project ASPIRE hub will provide stakeholders the opportunity to work collaboratively at industryled roundtables – one for each of the strategy’s 10 pillars – to identify priority actions and co-ordinate strategic activities to advance sustainable protein production and processing in the province.

The hub will be hosted by the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, thanks to the industry association being well-equipped to co-ordinate, catalyze and facilitate the implementation of Project ASPIRE. Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters will be recruiting expertise in the near future to facilitate industry, academia and

government actions to implement ASPIRE’s objectives.

“We are pleased to host the ASPIRE hub to bring industry leaders together to foster innovation and competitiveness to the sector,” said Ron Koslowsky, divisional vice-president, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters. “We are always looking for ways to help local manufacturers strengthen their competitive advantages and build knowledge, capacity and contacts, and this hub will do just that.”

The Manitoba Protein Advantage Strategy launched in 2019 to grow the animal and plant protein sector, aiming to attract new investments of $1.5 billion and create 1,550 new jobs by 2025. To date, the strategy has already attracted over $823 million in new investments 55 per cent of its goal and created 912 new jobs 59 per cent of its goal.

“This initiative to advance a vision where Manitoba is the global leader for growing and value-adding sustainable protein has been strongly embraced by protein industry stakeholders,” said Dickson Gould, chair, Manitoba Protein Consortium. “The creation of the ASPIRE Hub provides the structure and support that enables industry stakeholders to take the lead in achieving our ambitious goals.”

The Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a five-year, $3-billion commitment by the federal, provincial and territorial governments that supports Canada’s agri-food and agri-products sectors. This includes a $2-billion commitment that is cost-shared 60 per cent federally and 40 per cent provincially/territorially for programs that are designed and delivered by provinces and territories.

Manitoba Government Highlights Success of Protein Advantage Strategy at Inaugural Animal Protein Summit

(December 15, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) The Manitoba Protein Advantage Strategy has already attained more than 55 per cent of its key investment and job creation targets, Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson announced at the inaugural Animal Protein Summit, which brought together industry, government and academia stakeholders to foster dialogue around sustainable protein systems.

“Our government recognizes that sustainable protein is the future and we are committed to continue working to build our province as a global protein supplier of choice,” said Johnson. “Manitoba was the first North American jurisdiction to develop a comprehensive strategy to advance sustainable protein, and I am pleased to report on our strategy’s significant achievements to date.”

The minister noted the strategy has already attracted over $823 million in new investments 55 per cent of its goal and created 912 new jobs 59 per cent of its goal. The ongoing momentum of the strategy has been very positive, with partnerships from provincial, national and international businesses and organizations, added Johnson.

Animal protein is an essential pillar of the global food system, noted the minister, adding that the thriving sector brings substantial ecological, economic and societal benefits to Manitoba. The level and scope of investment happening around the province is remarkable, said Johnson.

Some of the animal protein sector’s recent achievements include:

• a $182-million investment by Maple Leaf Foods to expand its bacon plant, which added 350 permanent full-time jobs;

• a $35-million investment by Topigs Norsvin in its Plumas sow facility, which added 28 permanent high-tech jobs in rural Manitoba;

• a $19-million investment by Bothwell Cheese to upgrade its processing and distribution capacity, which added 30 permanent full-time jobs;

• a $10-million investment by Burnbrae Farms Limited to increase its egg processing and grading capacity; and

• a $7-million investment by True North Foods to expand its beef processing capacity, which will add up to 80 new jobs over the next four years.

The Manitoba government launched the Protein Advantage Strategy in 2019 to grow the animal and plant protein sector and advance the profitability and competitiveness of Manitoba producers and processors. The strategy aims to attract new investment of $1.5 billion and create 1,550 new jobs by 2025.

Province Advises Of Additional Actions to Help Prevent Spread of Chronic Wasting Disease

(December 15, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) Manitoba Natural Resources and Northern Development is advising of additional management actions to help prevent the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD).

CWD is a highly contagious, incurable and fatal disease that affects members of the deer family (cervids) including mule deer, white-tailed deer, elk, moose and caribou. Animals infected with CWD may appear healthy until the later stages of the disease. Though CWD is not known as a human health risk, meat from a CWD-infected animal is not recommended for consumption.

First detected in November 2021, the Manitoba government has implemented significant new measures and resources to assess the disease’s prevalence in the province and contain its spread. Because of these activities, seven cases of CWD have been confirmed near the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border over the last year. All confirmed cases occurred in mule deer.

These findings indicate additional disease surveillance efforts are required within the mule deer population to prevent further spread of CWD. Strictly managed mule deer hunting opportunities were part of these efforts in 2022 and resulted in the detection of CWD cases.

To further support CWD prevention, the Manitoba government is establishing a winter

mule deer hunting season from Dec. 19 to Feb. 5, 2023, in the same game hunting areas as the fall season. These areas will include game hunting areas (GHA) 5, 6, 6A, 11, 12, 13, 13A, 18, 18A, 18B, 18C, 22, 23, 23A, 27, 28, 29, 29A, 30, 31, 31A, 32, 33, 35 and 35A.

Residents can purchase up to three mule deer licences per year. Any unused mule deer licences purchased for the fall 2022 hunting season can be used during the upcoming winter hunting season. For more information, visit https://gov.mb.ca/nrnd/fishwildlife/pubs/fish_wildlife/huntingguide.pdf

The mandatory sample submission area remains in effect. Hunters will be notified immediately if animals test positive for CWD. Sample results from harvested animals are also posted on https://www.gov.mb.ca/nrnd/fishwildlife/wildlife/cwd-results/cwd-results.html

Hunters active in areas where CWD is a concern should practise safe carcass handling protocols and refrain from consuming any animal that has tested positive for CWD.

Hunters with questions or concerns about an animal that has been harvested can email CWD@gov.mb.ca or call 1-204-638-4570.

#588: Bivalent Booster

Vaccine Approved For Children Aged Five To 11

(December 13, 2022 Province of Manitoba News Release) Manitoba Health advises that a bivalent booster vaccine has been approved and recommended for children aged five to 11. Children in this age group have previously been eligible for a booster dose with the monovalent (original) Pfizer pediatric vaccine. This is the first bivalent booster vaccine available for this age group.

This vaccine is being delivered to Manitoba this week and will then be shipped to vaccine sites across the province. The vaccines are expected to become available at sites the week of Dec. 19. However, to ensure children can receive a bivalent booster dose, book the appointment for Dec. 23 or later or check with the provider to confirm availability.

Parents and caregivers of children aged five to 11 who would like to make an appointment for a bivalent booster dose can begin doing so tomorrow at 9 a.m. using the online booking tool or by contacting the vaccine call centre at (tollfree) 1-844-626-8222 (1-844-MAN-VACC). Medical clinics and pharmacies can also be contacted directly for appointments.

The bivalent vaccine has been developed to provide protection against two strains of COVID19: the original strain of the virus and the omicron variant. Public health recommends people who are due for a booster should get the bivalent vaccine. Boosters are important because protection against COVID-19, either from previous immunizations or an infection, decreases over time. Children aged five to 11 who previously received a booster dose with the monovalent (original) vaccine do not need to receive a second booster with the bivalent vaccine.

Public health encourages all Manitobans, including parents and caregivers, to make vaccination a part of holiday planning. Many

clinics and other locations will continue to offer vaccinations, by appointment or by walk-in, over the coming weeks. Being up-to-date on all vaccinations, including COVID-19 and seasonal influenza, will help protect people and their families and friends over the holiday season as gatherings and celebrations are held. Based on updated clinical guidance, everyone aged six months and older can safely get the COVID-19 vaccine at the same time as other vaccines including the flu vaccine.

As of Dec. 6, more than 208,400 doses of bivalent vaccine have been administered in Manitoba and entered in the provincial immunization registry.

Manitoba’s Pandemic Response System (PRS) will be retired this week and removed from www.manitoba.ca/covid19. It has been at the limited risk (green) level since March 2022, due to the broad availability of safe and effective vaccines. Public health restrictions also ended at that time, meaning the PRS is no longer required to provide a view of regional or sector-specific requirements. The PRS will continue to be a tool available to the government to share information with Manitobans in the future, should it be required.
