For most of my life growing up I was told the Bills would eventually leave Buffalo. Was told the market was too small. There weren’t enough big corporations or big enough money to keep a team. NFL owners would want to bolt to a bigger market as soon as they could. The opening of the stadium tonight means something far deeper than just an awesome new football stadium to many of us. It means the Bills are still here, and staying here. It means another generation can root for the BUFFALO Bills, and keep doing that, for many years to come. We’re here. We’ve made it. We’re not going anywhere. Enjoy tonight, #BillsMafia ❤️💙🦬🏈

Securing Canadian beef export approval to the Dominican Republic is a big win—CMC advocated for this since 2023 and funded the audit that made it possible. With $200M+ in DR beef imports in 2025, this opens new markets and reflects Canada's food safety leadership
After more than two decades, Canadian beef is heading back to the Dominican Republic. This decision restores access to an important Caribbean market for Canadian beef and beef products, creating new opportunities for producers and processors to grow their businesses and reach new customers. We’ll keep working with our industry and international partners to open more doors for Canadian agriculture around the world.

Encouraging to see U.S. agriculture speaking out on USMCA. @FarmBureau's call for negotiations to resume reflects the shared interest in restoring stability and predictability to an integrated trading relationship that American and Canadian farmers alike depend on. fb.org/news-release/usmca-ne…

📢 Legislative Affairs Update from GRIC The Commissioner of Lobbying has updated the gift and hospitality thresholds under the Lobbying Act to reflect inflation. Effective July 7, 2026: 🔹 Maximum value of an individual gift or hospitality: $43 🔹 Maximum annual combined value per public office holder: $215 While these thresholds have been adjusted in line with the Consumer Price Index, GRIC will continue to advocate for a more consistent legislative approach by aligning the Lobbying Act's gifts and hospitality framework with the approach under the Conflict of Interest Act, as recommended in our recent submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI). We remain committed to supporting a transparent, practical, and modern lobbying framework for government relations professionals across Canada.
