CCA staff joined @CornwallHeath, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, at @McDonaldsCanada’s reception on the Hill this week to celebrate the delicious Canadian beef that goes into their burgers every day. 🍔🇨🇦

Thank you to McDonald's Canada for hosting and for being a strong partner to Canadian cattle producers.

CCA staff Daniela Lombardo appeared before the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Trade to discuss Canada–U.S. trade and the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). She emphasized that the Canadian and U.S. beef sectors operate as a single, integrated market, and that maintaining tariff-free trade through the CUSMA review is the beef sector's number one priority. Daniela also raised the sector's ongoing concerns about increased beef imports under the Mercosur negotiations.

This Chili Month, keep it Canadian and keep it hearty! Check out the recipe above and celebrate Chili Month!

CCA General Manager Ryder Lee appeared before the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry as it studied the Pest Control Products Act amendments in Bill C-31, the Budget 2025 implementation bill. He voiced CCA's support for the changes, noting that a science-based, risk-proportionate review system means producers can get safe, effective products in a timely way, the same ones their U.S. and global competitors already use. Ryder also urged senators to support Livestock Price Insurance, a key CCA ask for Budget 2026 that would help producers manage price risk. On trade, he made clear that CCA opposes any additional beef access for Mercosur.
