High Commissioner seeks easing of livestock shipment rules
To Help Livestock Men Move Made by High Commissioner to Reduce Cost of Transportation Further modification of the regulations of the British Government which followed the removal of the cattle embargo are being sought through Hon. P. C. Larkin high commissioner who is taking up the matter with the new Baldwin ministry. What is sought is the abolition of the three day quarantine prior to shipment and also of the requirement that a veterinarian must go overseas with each shipment. Time in transit counts in the quarantine period and thus the effect is felt more in shipments from Ontario than from the west. The department objects to the cost of sending along veterinarians 26 men now being required for a service considered unnecessary on shipments from a country which has never had the foot and mouth disease which is what is guarded against.
