The agricultural demands are nearing Khmer Rouge levels of uninformed fanaticism.

Step 1: Stop domestic oil and gas exploration (Oil Sands, anything with hydraulic stimulation and offshore drilling - this is pretty much the entire industry). Shut down forestry and nuclear industries. Stop export of same.
Step 2: Ban GMO crops, fish farming, feed lots, factory farming (for those keeping track, this accounts for the vast majority of the Canadian agricultural output). Ban fertilizers and pesticides.
Step 3: Make it easier to farm hemp
Step 4: ????
Step 5: Nirvana

With next to no industrial production, no agricultural production and maybe a third of Canadians out of work right away, I'm not sure there'd be much left to raise the minimum wage, EI and disability payments up to what they deem a living wage.
