Tam
As I said before Tam, the reason there is no protocal is the lack of will from the Canadian government to ask. The Japanese governement will not go along with the provate sector because there is no protocal.
It's not even a chicken and egg scenerio, it is simply a pigheaded attitude by the feds to hold a stick over the Japanese head rather than ask. Why the pigheaded attitude? I personally believe it is due to the whiney packers who cannot guarantee how long it might take to claw back the cost of labs and testing from the producers of this country. And I thought ranchers and farmers were supposed to be the whiney ones! :roll:
