Deadstock
Lanark
WHEREAS the provincial government financial assistance has expired for
deadstock removal effective February 28th, and
WHEREAS this loss of funding causes a loss of service to producers and
affects all livestock commodities (dairy, beef, sheep, etc.) and
WHEREAS the deadstock removal program is essential to ensuring the
removal of Specific Risk Material (SRM) from the environment, thus
eliminating associated public health risks, and
WHEREAS the beef industry has been hit hard enough by the economy and
trade barriers;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Ontario Cattlemen’s Association work
with the livestock organizations – OFA, NFU, and CFFO – to lobby the
Ontario government to reinstate provincial funding for deadstock
removal. |
