An Act to recognize a national livestock brand as a symbol of Canada and of western and frontier heritage

Bill C-208 in 45-1 (distinct from the 44-1 Bill C-208 on early learning and child care) is a Conservative Private Member's Bill recognizing a national livestock brand as a symbol of Canada and amending the Trademarks Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. T-13) to protect Canadian-livestock-origin marks. Canada is the world's seventh-largest beef exporter (approximately 421,000 tonnes in 2023 per Statistics Canada Agri-Food Canada data) and the third-largest pork exporter; the bill aims to create a federal trademark framework for Canadian-livestock-brand authenticity. Reintroduction of 44-1 Bill C-407 (CPC PMB) which did not pass second reading. Sponsored by Conservative MP Glen Motz (Medicine Hat-Cardston-Warner). The Canadian Cattlemen's Association and the Canadian Pork Council support the proposal.
