In May 2009, the Premier announced a new British Columbia Ranching Task Force to identify key issues and opportunities facing the ranching and beef industry in British Columbia, and to make recommendations to ensure a strong, vibrant and sustainable industry in British Columbia for this generation, and future generations.
To meet this outcome the Task Force will:
- Identify policies, regulations and legislation that are adversely affecting the competitive position of the BC cattle industry;
- Identify the most immediate non-regulatory industry priorities;
- Identify actions to be taken by industry and government to ensure a more profitable self-sustaining industry in the long-term.
The Task Force will be made up of government and beef industry members who will work jointly and with other Ministries/agencies to create solutions to the challenges facing this industry today.
