2025 CVMA Federal Election Toolkit
April 9, 2025
The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) has prepared a Government Relations Toolkit for our members which includes key messages and relevant statistics, in addition to the three recommendations the CVMA submitted to the government prior to the 2024 and 2025 Federal budgets. The toolkit has been updated in advance of the upcoming 2025 federal election:
- Recommendation #1 The federal government address workplace shortages and ensure there is a robust veterinary workforce through additional investments for projects and veterinary infrastructure.
- Recommendation #2The federal government address workplace shortages by investing in the mental health of all veterinary professionals.
- Recommendation #3 The federal government invest in ways to maintain and strengthen the availability of critical veterinary drugs in the interest of protecting public health and safety, animal health and welfare, and food safety and security.
The kit is designed to support members in advocating for the veterinary profession and emphasizing its significance to community when meeting with their local Members of Parliament.
We encourage members to use this toolkit to reach out to all candidates, across all parties, to encourage them to help advance the CVMA’s interests.
