📢 Traceability Update 📢 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.

I’ve been actively engaging with Federal Minister @CornwallHeath MacDonald and hearing directly from producers about the proposed amendments to livestock traceability regulations. From those constructive and ongoing discussions, concerns have been heard loud and clear. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued a statement confirming they will pause publication of the proposed regulation changes to ensure further discussion and understanding with industry and governments before moving forward — reflecting the need for thoughtful engagement and practical solutions for producers. Please read the full statement here: canada.ca/en/food-inspec…

Alberta producers have raised real concerns about proposed federal livestock traceability changes. We’ve been clear: traceability must work in the real world. That means taking the time to engage industry and avoiding new red tape, barriers, or costs for farmers and ranchers. I’ve raised Alberta’s concerns directly with the federal minister and will continue advocating for solutions that protect animal health and producer viability.

📷TRACEABILITY UPDATE 📷 Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) is recommending that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) halt the finalization of the upcoming federal traceability regulation changes to allow for additional, meaningful consultation with producers. While public consultation occurred in 2023, ABP believes further review is necessary to ensure traceability can be effectively and consistently implemented at the farm and ranch level. For traceability to be effective, it must be practical, workable, and not unreasonably burdensome for producers. ABP supports a strong and reliable traceability system and recognizes its importance in managing animal health risks such as bovine tuberculosis (bTB), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and foreign animal diseases like foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). The loss of export markets during past disease events has demonstrated the significant consequences for Canada’s beef industry. A traceability system ultimately depends on producer participation and confidence. Advancing regulatory changes without broad producer buy-in risks creating a system that does not function as intended and does little to protect producers, animal health, or market access during a disease event. ABP is calling on governments and beef industry partners to work together to ensure the traceability framework fully meets producer and animal health needs, strengthening on-farm adoption and the long-term resilience of Canada’s beef industry.
