CCA Statement on Proposed Federal Livestock Traceability Regulations
March 30, 2026
After extensive producer engagement and input from provincial beef organizations, the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) does not support proceeding with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) currently proposed amendments to Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations (Identification and Traceability).
The CCA supports livestock traceability as a core pillar of disease preparedness, market access and confidence in Canadian beef.
CCA and provincial member organizations will convene a Task Force to work for producers on a risk-based, industry-led approach to disease preparedness and emergency management.
