CVMA Back on Parliament Hill to Advocate for Federal Support
November 25, 2024
In mid-November, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) arranged a series of meetings on Parliament Hill to urge the government to address workplace shortages and support a robust veterinary workforce. This marks the second time this year the CVMA has advocated for the profession directly to Senators and Members of Parliament on the Hill.
The CVMA emphasized the importance of the same recommendations it has been advocating for over the last two years:
- 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 #2:The 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.
