CAM member accuses Downey of conflict over beef bill
Tony Riley of Strathclair says Manitoba Agriculture Minister James Downey faces a conflict of interest as a Manitoba Beef Growers Association member. Downey denies acting for the association while CAM plans demonstrations and warns hearings in July may limit farmer input. Riley contends the 14 appointed board members could curb democratic representation, fearing dominance by feedlots and underrepresentation of small producers who supply 85 percent of cattle in Manitoba.
