The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) is urging the government of Canada to terminate the Canada-United Kingdom (UK) Agreement following the tabling of the UK accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership legislation.
“As the UK walked away from bilateral negotiations, we are calling on the Government of Canada to terminate the (trade continuity agreement) and ensure bilateral negations can begin again, where our barriers can be properly addressed,” CCA said.
The association said the UK has not made any effort to address non-tariff barriers that are keeping Canadian beef out of the UK market while UK beef imports into Canada continue to grow.
