Contacting your MLA's and MP's is certainly one way you can do that....whether you live in rural or urban areas of the province. Alberta Conservative MP Earl Dreeshen, the father of Alberta's provincial ag minister, says Ottawa needs to hear those messages.  "Make sure to continue to push the message.  On Tuesday, I'm the deputy shadow minister for industry and we are going to be having the Ag minister at our virtual meeting, so we will be pushing those types of questions."

 

"The meeting is all COVID related so the issues that are happening in Canada's industries an ag being one of the key ones.  Getting us (MP's) that information so that we can send it to them, if you are also sending it to the minister, that way you know that they should respond to it.  That's why the big push to make sure they understand what it is really like here on the ground," comments Dreeshen.
