Prairie province poultry, beef, and pork industries are concerned about language in the Bill C 298 they say targets producers.
Alberta responded quickly to the bill with the province's agriculture minister calling on the Senate to reconsider.
The provincial government said it's highly intrusive legislation that unfairly singles out the agriculture and food industry and encroaches on Section 95 of the Constitution Act, which sets agriculture within the exclusive jurisdiction of the province.
