The Cross-Border Livestock Health Working Group meets each year for an annual conference at the PNWER Summit. This conference enhances relationships and network-building between U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions, exchanging information on animal health issues/concerns, developing a common understanding of disease policies, exchanging information on emergency response to emerging and foreign animal disease, advancing Canadian and American animal health interests, and identifying and executing action items to collectively address animal and cross-border issues. For more information, please visit www.cblhconference.com.

The Cross-Border Livestock Health (CBLH) Conference is committed to:

• Supporting livestock-based NAFTA Modernization and Regulatory Cooperation Council initiatives.
• Providing a forum for communication for stakeholder engagement.
• Tracking pilot project on e-certification in live cattle. Request specific criteria for system needs to fulfill data and security requirements from USDA and CFIA.
• Supporting animal welfare initiatives for the development of science-based guidelines/requirements. Promoting consistency of requirements for animals crossing international, state and provincial borders.
• Reevaluating past action item to include aspects of disease-prevention and detection as part of emerging animal disease.
