U.S and Canada agree to use electronic export certificates

Farmers exporting cattle and bison to the United States will soon be able to use electronic export certificates provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The two countries have agreed to gradually phase in the service at border points after a successful pilot project that began in November at Emerson, Manitoba.
