The National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) will convene hearings in Alberta August 18-20. Those working within agriculture understand that much of what shapes their work is not always visible. It is encountered in practice, often without an opportunity to be formally recorded. Testimony provides that opportunity.
This hearing will examine questions surrounding:
• Food safety and food security
• Farmer and harvester viability
• Hunting, fisheries, and wildlife management
• Government regulation and oversight
• Fertilizer, fuel, and energy pressures
• Transparency and accountability in public decision-making
If you have direct, firsthand experience within farming, livestock production, agricultural systems, regulatory environments, or related areas you are invited to submit an application to testify.
All testimony must be based on direct experience. Submissions based on secondhand information or interpretation will not be considered.
