Mad Cow? What Mad Cow? Canada to Serve Bush Beef

Advertisements [?]

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The United States has yet to reopen its borders to imports of live Canadian cattle but that won't keep Ottawa from serving beef to U.S. President George W. Bush (news - web sites) at an official dinner this week.

Washington slammed the door in May 2003 after a single case of mad cow disease was found in Canada. This month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (news - web sites) proposed allowing the full resumption of imports but the decision has to be reviewed by the Bush administration's budget office before going into effect.

The president has a chance to make a personal assessment on Tuesday, when beef from the western province of Alberta will be on the menu.
