Submit a Resolution
Each year, we encourage all dairy producers in Canada to submit non-binding resolutions to Lactanet. To be eligible, a Resolution can only be accepted if it relates to Lactanet business activities, including its products, services, and policies. Before you submit a Resolution please ensure you check all the boxes.
To be eligible, all Resolutions must be:
- Submitted by a licensed Canadian dairy farmer (you are not required to be a Lactanet customer)
- Supported by four (4) other licensed Canadian dairy farmers
- Submitted using the official on-line form or downloadable PDF Resolutions form
- Complete, including the agreement to the terms and conditions stated on the form
- Written in a respectful manner and free from disparage on any individual or organization
- Received with explicit consent to publish the names of the submitter and supporters publicly
- Received by the Lactanet Secretary to the Board by the deadline of March 3 (5:00pm EST)
- Presented by the mover (or designate) in a public on-line forum on March 31
Resolutions may be withdrawn by the mover at any time.

Posting
All eligible resolutions shall be posted publicly to this website on March 17th, 2025. This includes the names and provinces of the originator/submitter who proposed the Resolution, the four (4) individuals who supported the Resolution, along with any relevant background details as deemed appropriate by Lactanet to ensure complete and factual information.
At the discretion of the Board, Resolutions that are similar in nature may be combined for efficiency.
Presentations
On March 31, 2025, each person (or their *designate) who has submitted an eligible resolution will have the opportunity to publicly present their Resolution for a maximum of four (4) minutes. In the event that Resolutions are combined due to a similar subject, the Resolution that was received first shall be selected to present. (*Designate – the resolution submitter may select one of their supporters or the Mover to present)
The Resolutions Presentation will be streamed on-line in real-time using an electronic format and simultaneous translation will be provided. All participants must have access to an internet connection and can choose video or audio options.
Due to potential challenges with time zones, each presenter may also have the option to pre-record their message, which would be played at the appropriate time during the presentation session. Please contact us to arrange this option.
The Lactanet Board shall attend the session in order to hear all Resolutions presented and their subsequent consideration.
