The Committee is pleased to table its 2nd report, which concludes phase I of its study of the pricing of beef at the slaughter, wholesale and retail levels, in the context of the BSE crisis in Canada.
The Committee is now conducting phase II of its study as per the motion of February 1st, 2005:
That, due to the need for additional analysis and follow up relative to financial and pricing information provided by meatpackers to meet requirements of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food regarding its study on BSE government programs, the Committee requests the extension of the professional services contract between Consulting and Audit Canada and the Library of Parliament in order to pursue, on-site, the second phase of its in-depth analysis of financial and pricing information as well as the government assistance received by packers and the latter’s relation with beef pricing.
