"The government of Canada is committed to working with our neighbours in the United States and Mexico to secure OIE-consistent trade for beef and livestock in North America and around the world," said Ritz. "This agreement is good news for farmers in all three countries who will now have access to world-class livestock from any- where in North America." This announcement comes on the heels of the minister's trip to Washington to meet with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Ed Schafer. Ritz and Schafer dis- cussed issues and objectives shared by industry on both sides of the border. These included nor- malizing beef and cattle trade in North America, the U.S. Farm Bill legislation, mandatory Country - of -Origin Labelling and market access issues for potatoes. "Canada and the U.S. are each others' most important trad- ing partners and farm families in both countries benefit from our close rela- tionship," said Ritz. "Our government is committed to contin- ue our productive and respectful dia- logue with our American neighbours for the benefit of Canadians who depend on our agri- culture and agri-food industries."
