The Canadian Cattlemen's Association says the U-S omnibus bill including the repeal of COOL is an encouraging sign.
But the CCA cautions there is still a lot of work to do before the omnibus bill becomes law.
An Association statement points out Canada could be in a position to impose retaliatory tariffs as early as Friday.
The CCA says it hopes awareness of that fact in Washington will be useful to avoid retaliatory action becoming necessary.
