The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is welcoming the Liberals into federal office.
The CFA is also thanking Gerry Ritz for his work on behalf of farmers over the past eight years as Minister of Agriculture.
President Ron Bonnett says he's looking to begin work as soon as possible with the new government on the Federation's top priorities.
Those include a comprehensive labour program for Canadian agriculture and agri-food, ensuring the TPP is a fair and meaningful deal for Canadian farmers and detailing risk management programs for Canadian farmers.
The Canadian Cattlemen's Association wants the new federal Liberal government to send a strong message to Washington over COOL.
The CCA says the government needs to follow-through on the intention to block imports of U-S goods with prohibitive tariffs if COOL isn't repealed.
