Outgoing Conservative MP Damien Kurek is looking to leave his mark in Parliament by pushing for the adoption of a national livestock brand as one of Canada’s symbols.

Kurek introduced a bill in the last Parliament to create the new brand but that bill didn’t pass before the election was called, meaning it now has to start over.
