SOUTHWEST BOOSTERX THURSDAY JANUARY 18, 2018 6 opinion Editor: Scott Anderson Group Publisher: Michael J. Hertz SSGA supports signing TPP11
The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association supports the Gov- ernment of Canada signing the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP11). The SSGA has added its voice to Canada’s beef producer organizations ahead of an expected meeting of representatives from the 11 countries of the TPP. For Canada’s beef industry, a trade deal with the Asia Pacific region is of vital importance. “Last year, Canada’s beef industry had over $2.3 billion in ex- ports,” said Shane Jahnke, President of the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association. “The Asia Pacific region, especially Japan, can offer Canadian cattle producers considerable opportunities for ex- panding into new trade markets,” said Jahnke. The remaining countries in the partnership have indicated that they are prepared to proceed with the TPP without Canada. If Can- ada does not sign the agreement, beef producers will face a greater competitive disadvantage in the region than they currently face. “The concern of Canadian beef producers is that if Canada does not sign the TPP, high tariffs will make them extremely uncompeti- tive in the Japanese market,” the SSGA president noted. Without the deal, Canada will continue to pay a 38.5% tariff, while TPP sig- natories will see their rates drop to 27% now and each year down to 9% in the future. “This wide disparity in tariff rates means that Canadian beef producers will essentially lose access to one of our most valuable markets,” Jahnke added. As a result, cattle producers can expect to see significantly fewer trade prospects in the region. contact us The Southwest Booster welcomes letters on matters of public interest for publica- However, by signing on to the TPP11, Canada will see tariffs im- tion over the writer’s name.

BRONCOS So far so good for new-look Broncos STEVEN MAH SOUTHWEST BOOSTER
Bolstered by the addition of five new trade deadline acqui- sitions and the return of Tyler Steenbergen, the Swift Current Broncos cruised to two wins while only allowing one goal over the weekend. Friday, Stuart Skinner made 29 saves in his debut as the Broncos spoiled Guaranteed Win Night with a 4-0 win over the host Prince Albert Raiders. The Broncos got two goals and one assist from captain Glenn Gawdin and single goals from Colby Sissons and Kaden Elder. Skinner earned his fifth shutout of the season in his first game since the trade from the Lethbridge Hurricanes. Ian Scott made 21 saves on 24 shots on the loss. Saturday, the Broncos an- nihilated the Edmonton Oil Kings 9-1 in front of a sold out crowd at the Innovation Credit Union iplex with goals from nine different skaters in their fourth straight win. Gawdin, Aleksi Heponiemi on a penalty shot, Artyom Minulin, Matteo Gennaro, Max Patterson, Kole Gable, Tanner Nagel, Giorgio Estephan, Kole Gable, and Beck Malenstyn all scored in the win. Skinner earned his second straight win since joining the Broncos with 20 saves to im- prove to 16-15-2-0 on the cam- paign. “It was amazing,” said Skin- ner of his home debut. “First of SCOTT ANDERSON/SOUTHWEST BOOSTER all, the fans were going crazy Swift Current Broncos forward Aleksi Heponiemi (right) earned a penalty shot when he was hauled down by Edmonton’s Will Warm during a tonight.
