Manitoba TB Eradication Drive Faces Government Gridlock
Manitoba Cattle Producers Association calls for a TB eradication coordinator to unify four agencies across two levels of government. TB in wild elk and deer near Riding Mountain National Park risks domestic herds, with testing costs and cross‑jurisdiction delays hampering efforts. Parks Canada and CFIA track and cull positives, while producers bear costs for repeated testing and quarantines. The MCPA argues the status quo endangers cattle markets and animal health, pressing for clear leadership and a provincial eradication plan.
