I can tell you unequivocally the reason the Canadian Cattlemen's Association fights this. I'm a member so I can speak as more than just a politician. They are opposed to putting that kind of country of origin on foreign product in this country because they're afraid it's going to affect sales in other countries. Now, whether that's right or wrong I'm not going to argue about, but if it's legitimate, that's the reasoning behind it.
