Canadissent

There is more protest from agriculture interests in Canada about the phase-in of new APHIS fees. Though the USDA put off the proposed fee imposition until March - the fee was originally slated for Nov. 24 - Canadian grain interests complain the rule doesn't consider alternatives and the impact of the fee on cross border trade. However, I think it is hard to make a case that Canada should be exempt from the user fee when every other country pays it.
