Previously, Ron was Senior Liaison Officer, Government Affairs, for the Canadian Wheat Board. He has held senior positions in Canada and abroad with the Departments of Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada and Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada during which key responsibilities included international market development, international trade policy and technical barriers to trade, including sanitary and phytosanitary regulations and standards. Exceeding $21 billion in annual sales, processors and further processors of beef, veal, lamb, pork, poultry and eggs constitute the largest segment of Canada’s food processing industry. Canadian Meat Council Bulletin - October 2011 Page 8 STAFFING UPDATE Staff Change at the Canadian Meat Council Our Manager of Regulatory Affairs, Margo Ladouceur, has tendered her resignation from the Canadian Meat Council. Margo has accepted a position right next door with the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council as their new Egg Sector Manager. This position is a promotion for Margo with significant responsibilities. Margo has been with the Canadian Meat Council almost 7 years. She started with us as a summer student. We were impressed with her work so we offered her a position straight out of the University of Ottawa when she graduated with her Bachelor of Science in Biology. Margo’s first day with the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council will be Monday October 17, 2011. We wish Margo all the best as she starts her new position with our Association Synergy Partner. With the Strategic review of the Canadian Meat Council and our overall business plan and mandate now underway we may “delay” hiring Margo’s replacement until we have a very clear picture of what kind of priorities we will have over the next few years. We will do our best to continue to provide service to the Beef and Pork Committees in the meantime. PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS The House of Commons resumed on Monday, September 19, 2011. This is the 41st Parliament, 1st Session. The Senate is adjourned until Tuesday,
