You see ECON that's what makes Canada so superior. The industry started the CCIA. The industry has lead the way on our M'ID. Once we had it started the Government had to make it Mandatory but it is NOT government run.
You're statement is laughable Big Muddy.
From the CCIA website:
"The Canadian Cattle Identification Program makes traceback and containment of serious animal health and food safety problems faster and more efficient, which helps keep customers buying Canadian beef and cattle.
This program is
regulated and enforced by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA)."
CFIA is not "GOVERNMENT"? :???: :???:
No, BMR, you got duped into a system for bse surveillance that the producers pay for. BSE was a problem the packers made and you call it a victory that producers have had to pay for it.
Your ID program was something that allows the packers to ship untested beef from Canada and that producers pay for, not packers.
You really have a funny definition of what you think is "superior".
