“We are very pleased to hear the Trans Pacific Partnership agreement has been signed. To not be included in this monumental agreement would have been detrimental for the agriculture industry in Canada. Opening these markets and removing tariffs on our export products will serve both the industry and our country very well, both now and in the future. On behalf of the cattle industry, we wish to thank Prime Minister Harper and his government for their hard work on getting this agreement in place,” stated Larry Schweitzer, NCFA Chair.
