Gathering feedback at Producer Meetings

Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is in ongoing discussions with Alberta’s Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation regarding the proposed regulations on traceability. These discussions included a conversation between General Manager Brad Dubeau and Deputy Minister Jason Hale late Friday.

DM Hale has discussed the current situation with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), and the CFIA has confirmed that additional consultation will occur. DM Hale is committed to hearing from Alberta producers and will ensure feedback gathered is conveyed to CFIA when Federal, Provincial, and Territorial (FPT) government representatives meet to discuss their findings.

Thanks to producers from across Alberta and beyond, CFIA has heard a range of perspectives and has acknowledged that additional due diligence is required.

ABP will continue to use its annual Producer Meetings as a tool to gather feedback from producers which, in turn, will be used to inform government.
