Hundreds of jobs are at risk as market shrinks due to cheap imports that reduce local demand

I agree with Francois Baird that antidumping tariffs are urgently needed . Dumping also affects contract growers like us, who raise chickens on behalf of well-known companies such as Daybreak.

It is challenging but rewarding to keep a batch of 410,000 little chicks alive and healthy from arrival to departure, warm enough in winter and cool enough in summer, eating and drinking enough to reach their goal weight. This is where dumping from Brazil, Europe and America becomes my problem, because it hurts the market that the meat I produce is meant for.
