Author: Siobhan Juniku/March 27, 2025/Categories: FHCP News

Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a federal election for Sunday, April 28, 2025, launching a 36-day national campaign that will shape Canada’s future at a time of growing economic uncertainty.
 
With Canadians heading to the polls, Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada (FHCP) is calling on voters, partners, and industry supporters to help ensure our sector is part of the national conversation.
 
From the food on store shelves to the everyday health and household products Canadians rely on, our sector is foundational to the country’s economic resilience and public well-being. That’s why FHCP has launched a cross-country advocacy effort to promote the essential role our industry plays—and to secure smart, forward-looking policies from the next government.
