Message from Canadian Cattle Association
Last summer, thousands of Canadians stepped up to help Canadian farmers and ranchers when the Federal Government was looking to put health warning labels on ground beef. Those efforts made the Government change their mind and protected a staple in the diet of millions of Canadians.
We need your help to reach out to the government once again.
On July 15, 2023, the Government of Canada announced an agreement to grant access to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to the United Kingdom. As one of the first adopters of CPTPP, Canada has an exclusive veto on new members.
The CPTPP has, until now, provided a high standard for fair access to markets for participating countries, but this agreement with the UK leaves significant barriers in place. It does not meet a fair standard of competition for Canadian farmers and producers. This is a bad deal for Canada. At the moment, the UK exports $50 million of meat to Canada, while Canada exports $0 of meat to the UK.
The Canadian beef industry is proudly pro-trade. But this is not a fair deal, and no deal is better than a bad deal.
