Canadian standards are seen as a strength, producing safe and high-quality beef, but they also make it difficult to compete with lower-cost imports. The risk extends beyond current prices, as sustained import competition could reduce domestic production capacity, leading to greater reliance on foreign beef and compromising food security.
