The Canadian Cattlemen's Association (CCA) and 23 other organisations have requested the Government of Canada to initiate dispute settlement mechanisms with the United States under either the World Trade Organisation (WTO) or North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The groups believe that dispute settlement is an essential element that the government must use to achieve the re-opening of the US market to live cattle, other affected ruminants, all beef and other affected meat products. A letter signed by the 24 organisations has been delivered to the office of the Minister for International Trade.
