"[We are] working closely with the provincial authorities and the industry to intensively monitor the Canadian swine herd," he said in a prepared statement. "Canada is committed to full transparency and is sharing the most current scientific information with the international community. We will continue to work with our trading partners to ensure that trade decisions are based on sound science."

Canadian hog producers would continue to have access to the American market, he adds, stating Canadian pork still is safe for consumption.
