News Roundup from the December 2015 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Canadian Cattlemen Staff January 8, 2016

I’d like to start off by congratulating Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and International Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland on their appointments with Canada’s new federal government. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association (CCA) is encouraged by the public remarks they’ve made to date on trade issues, and particularly the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and U.S. mandatory country-of-origin labelling (COOL).

CCA Report: Another push for TPP

From the October 26 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Dave Solverson October 30, 2015
