CHAIR'S FOREWORD
The Committee is pleased to table its 10th report, prepared by Consulting and Audit Canada, which concludes 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 conducted this 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.
