CPC REPORT FOR MPC AGM. APRIL 9, 2014

December ‘12: WTO-appointed arbitrator gives U.S. 10 months to meet WTO obligations March ‘12: U.S. files appeal against WTO ruling November ‘11: WTO panel releases final report. Finds U.S. COOL discriminates September ‘08: U.S. implements COOL legislation via interim regulations

October ‘13: Ag Minister Gerry Ritz threatens trade retaliation September ‘13: Tyson Foods stops buying slaughtered Canadian cattle, citing high costs of COOL April ‘13: Canada states proposed rules are unacceptable March ‘13: USDA issues proposed rules to modify COOL

COOL IS HEATING UP…… - U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington threw out a previous ruling by a three judge panel that ruled against our legal challenge. - In a very rare legal moment, all 11 judges on the court will now reconsider the basis of our argument on the constitutional question of corporate free speech.

- Counsel representing the plaintiffs (CPC and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association being two of the nine) are working with clients on amicus (‘friends of the court’) briefs to support our own briefs. - Briefs should be in before the end of April and oral arguments will be presented May 19. The court has not indicated a date at which a decision would be issued. - A very long process. Very good support by the Feds.

Animal Care Code of Practice Clear message from producers: Stalls and group housing have equal welfare outcomes Group housing is not perfect Conversion is not simple

Animal Care Code of Practice Clear message from producers (continued): No assurance that group housing will result in better welfare Mandatory group housing will put many out of business

Code of Practice for the care and handling of farm animals: Pigs Code released March 6, 2014 A few important points on the outcome are: commitment to adopt loose housing on new construction pain control requirements for processing of piglets revision to space allowances enhanced environmental enrichment

Business Risk Management Changes to some programs like: AgriStability AgriInvest AgriInsurance AgriRecovery Now is the time to prepare for the next round of discussions
