The Ontario Landowners Association applauds Prime Minister Stephen Harper for his announcement yesterday to dramatically change the food labeling practices in Canada so that Canadians can truly and honestly recognize Canadian food by allowing only Canadian grown food to be labeled Produced in Canada. The current food regulation allows any food, including packaging, that is 51% made in Canada to be labeled Produced in Canada.

The Ontario Landowners Association has been lobbying government to make this morally correct change for two years. They wish to thank Gordon O'Connor M.P., Scott Reid M.P. and Randy Hillier M.P.P. for their support and influence in causing this important change to be made. Canadians will now have the ability to see where their food really comes from.
