Message from the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association:

February 9, 2026

In response to producer feedback and concern about proposed amendments to Part XV (Traceability) of the Health of Animals Regulations, CCA has launched an online traceability feedback survey to ensure that producers have an opportunity to share their feedback.

This survey is based on the proposed regulations that were anticipated. The proposed regulations are not in place, and the publication date has been paused. Producer feedback collected through this survey will be used to inform CCA’s next steps. We will use feedback collected through the survey only in aggregate. No personal information will be shared.

CFIA’s statement on the pause can be found at https://www.canada.ca/en/food-inspection-agency/news/2026/01/statement-from-the-canadian-food-inspection-agency-on-proposed-amendments-to-livestock-traceability-regulations.html

CCA’s resource for understanding the proposed regulations can be found at https://www.cattle.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Understanding_Proposed_Traceability_Rules-15_January_2026.pdf
