The fresh fruit and vegetable industry will continue to keep issues affecting the supply chain top-of-mind as parliamentarians prepare to go back to their ridings and seek re-election.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n Oleen Smethurst, Larry McIntosh, Jan VanderHout, Dr. Siddika Mithani, Jody Mott, Brian Gilroy\n<p>After meeting with over 20 parliamentarians and other key stakeholders, including the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and Dr. Siddika Mithani, President of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.<\/p>\n<p>CHC and CPMA hosted a reception at the Metropolitan Brasserie. The evening provided all attendees a more informal environment to network and build positive relationships with over 80 decision-makers in Ottawa.
