The New Democrats failed to reply to the Manitoba Beef Producers' provincial election questionnaire.

On September 8th, MBP sent a package to each party, asking them to respond with their position on a number of key issues for the beef industry, with a return deadline of September 26th.

Both the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals shared their responses.

President Major Jay Fox says they're disappointed by the lack of response and commitment from the NDP.

Water management, science-based regulation and the elimination of the Manitoba Cattle Enhancement Council checkoff are some of the priorities beef producers would like to see addressed.
