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.
Do you have ideas or suggestions on how to ensure a sustainable ranching and beef industry in British Columbia? If so, we want to hear from you. Please submit your ideas by clicking here. The Task Force will accept submissions until August 31, 2009.
