This pan-western growth strategy will help set the foundation to ensure that the unique regional economies in western Canada continue to grow and flourish by: • identifying shared priorities to grow the economy • increasing collaboration with those who make a difference in our economy, such as business, industry, academia, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities and organizations, and different levels of government • engaging western Canadians to identify and drive economic growth opportunities The federal government is working with business, industry, academia, Indigenous communities and organizations, and different levels of government, to help develop a truly "Made-in-Western-Canada" growth strategy. This strategy not only reflects the unique regional advantages of each province, but also helps to stimulate economic growth. The proposed approach is to develop a strategy in three phases: • Phase One: public, Indigenous groups, and stakeholder engagement to shape and inform the development of the strategy; • Phase Two: strategy development to outline the economic pillars of the strategy; and, • Phase Three: implementation of collaborative initiatives within these economic growth pillars. The strategy will identify and connect shared priorities amongst multiple public and private organizations to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, drive innovation in the west, and serve as a framework for ongoing actions. Both the engagement and strategy development look at a whole–of-government (federal and provincial) approach to working with partners on economic growth opportunities in the west. The engagement process will explore topics such as: • Economic priorities in Western Canada, including challenges and opportunities • Increasing economic participation of Indigenous groups, women, and youth • Collaborative opportunities between all levels of government | What We Heard Report available |

One of the main issues has been the low volume of owner-requested testing (surveillance) among western Canada equine owners, even though many positive cases of EIA have been identified in that area. As a result, a key recommendation from the EIA working group was for the CFIA to develop a program that includes some mandatory EIA testing requirements for certain movements of horses in western Canada. | What We Heard Report available |

Calcium propionate and potassium sorbate have already been permitted as preservatives in roti, an unstandardized food, at maximum levels of 2,000 parts per million (p.p.m.) (calculated as propionic acid) and 1,000 p.p.m (calculated as sorbic acid), respectively. These levels were requested to be increased to the same levels that are permitted in soft flour tortillas, a flatbread similar to roti, to increase the shelf life of roti. Health Canada did not identify any food safety concerns with permitting roti to contain these preservatives at the same levels that are permitted in soft flour tortillas. Therefore, as explained in the information document below, the Department has increased the maximum level use of calcium propionate and potassium sorbate in roti by modifying Part 3 of the List of Permitted Preservatives, effective May 25, 2018. The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide contact information for inquiries or for those wishing to submit new scientific information relevant to the safety of these food additives. | |
