Canadian Cattle Association Congratulates New Government
April 30, 2025
On behalf of beef producers across Canada, the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) congratulates the Liberal Party of Canada on forming the next federal government and welcomes all Members of Parliament elected or re-elected to Canada’s 45th Parliament. In order to grow our herd, meet the increasing world demand for high quality beef, and keep our costs competitive, we need impactful government policies, legislation and regulatory reform for beef producers.
“We look forward to working with Prime Minister Carney, cabinet ministers and all Parliamentarians to ensure our economic growth as a sector and as a country, starting with a strong focus on our relationship with the United States,” says CCA President Tyler Fulton.
The global demand for beef production has never been greater and Canadian beef producers are a key economic driver for Canada—all market signals show there is an opportunity to grow our herd. Our priorities for policy makers include trade and market access; reducing regulatory barriers, and supporting effective economic tools including livestock price insurance.
Export driven agriculture continues to be a key growth sector of Canada’s economy, and the beef cattle sector is the largest commodity in Canada, contributing $29 billion to GDP, with more than 347,000 full-time-equivalent jobs. With the uncertainty of trade and geopolitical tensions, we need strength and leadership to build strong policies that support economic growth.
