Ritz Hopes Court Decision Will End Beef Exports Challenge
CANADA - Canadian Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says he hopes a U.S. appeals court decision will finally bring an end to legal action over Canadian cattle exports.A group of American cattle ranchers, known as R-CALF, have repeatedly challenged the decision to lift the ban through several courts, and have launched a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Ritz says Canada has taken strict measures to eradicate mad cow disease from the North American herd.
