With the goal of supporting as many livestock value chain members as possible to participate in this soon-to-close consultation process, SSGA has prepared and attached a letter that outlines the business-critical issues that will result in a competitive disadvantage for Canadian livestock operations if the current draft of the CSD Standards is finalized as-is.
SSGA invites all members of the public to download this letter, and revise it however they wish, before submitting it using the Financial Reporting and Assurance Standards Canada’s (FRASC) online portal by June 10th. Instructions for submitting your comments to the FRASC are offered below.
