The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA), National Cattle Feeders’ Association (NCFA), and Canadian Beef Breeds Council (CBBC) are aware of misinformation circulating about a recently issued Request for Proposals (RFP) to hire an independent facilitator to support the Traceability Task Force circulating on social media.
The Task Force developed the RFP to assist them in moving into phase two and asked CCA and NCFA to share it with industry contacts consistent with organizational procurement practices for specialized roles. The facilitator’s role is to support the process and help the Task Force advance its mandate efficiently. The facilitator will not make decisions or determine outcomes.
Task Force updates and milestone reports will be shared at key stages of the process, with opportunities for producer engagement. We remain committed to a transparent, credible process that delivers practical recommendations for Canada’s beef industry.
