Little Bow MLA asks for feedback on Bill-6 and Ag Coalition
COALDALE — Little Bow MLA Dave Schneider has an ask for farmers and ranchers in his riding. Basically, three questions that will help with discussions regarding policy and platform of the UCP in preparation for fall session. The party continues to hear from the Agriculture industry producers about concerns with Bill 6, the Ag Coalition and Ag Safe.
So that he can represent the impacted fairly, Schneider would appreciate any input given to his office by September 7, so that he can bring area concerns and ideas forward as they develop policy.
The UCP has heard from farmers and ranchers that changes needed to be made to Bill 6, but there are parts of the Bill that cannot be changed. The Supreme Court of Canada has made rulings that ultimately allow farm workers to now form a union if they wish to, and labour laws will have to be followed. However, other parts such as insurance and OH&S can be tweaked, should there be the desire for it.
Question 1: If Bill 6 was to be changed, what would you like to see changed?
