Jan. 12.

Presidential Address
HCBP President Matt McCall
addressed the members at the annual
general meeting on Jan. 12 at the
Brussels Legion with a strong
message – 2010 was better than
many had hoped.
“[The HCBP] is a good group to
work with,” he started. “And 2010
didn’t turn out half as bad as many
people thought it would.”
McCall went on to say that there
was “a bit of black ink” on the
accounting pages, and that the
weather had helped with those
increases in profits.
McCall stated the HCBP’s
barbecues were well attended, and
that the group had set up a
bursary for Huron County
students interested in Agriculture.Resolution withdrawnOne motion was placed before the
HCBP during their annual
meeting on Jan. 12 at the Brussels
Legion, but it couldn’t find a
seconder.
The motion, which called for a
current lawsuit between beef
producers and the province
of Ontario to be sent to
mediation.
The lawsuit, which stemmed from
the Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy (BSE) crisis (also
known as mad cow disease) in 2003,
claims that the provincial
government knew there was a
problem as early as 1993, and did
little to prevent it.
The motion was made to get
financial aid to beef producers
sooner, rather than later, but
could find no seconder at the
meeting, and was therefore
withdrawn.
