Rachel Notley is fighting for our farmers, says Morgan Bamford of NDP

As the provincial political race heats up, Camrose riding’s NDP candidate, Morgan Bamford outlined Notley’s $81 million to farmers from the carbon levy, among others things on Saturday morning, March 30 in Camrose.

“Rachel grew up in rural Alberta,” Bamford said. “She knows first hand that farming families are an essential pillar of Alberta’s economy, and an important part of our province’s cultural fabric. She invested tens of millions in expanded efficiency programs for farmers, ranchers, and food processors to help our industry get ahead of the competition in other provinces.”

Bamford believes that Alberta farmers recognize that climate change is real and that they will be impacted which is why Notley’s government provided $81 million to farmers from the carbon levy to transition to lower energy and energy efficient equipment. “She also Introduced the Local Food Act to raise the profile of local food industry and doubled loan limits to livestock providers, allowing farmers to invest in new stock,” Bamford added.

Speaking to seniors’ housing particularly, Bamford said that seniors built the province and they deserve to know that their pensions will be protected, their housing will be maintained, and their communities will be safe for them.
