Feds take steps to protect Alberta By MICHELLE MARK -- Calgary Sun The threat of hoof-and-mouth disease ravaging Alberta's cattle has the feds rolling up their sleeves and wading through the issue, Canada's minister of Foreign Affairs said yesterday. Reacting to the scare of hoof-and-mouth disease in Britain, staff for Alberta's minister of Agriculture, Shirley McClellan, announced Thursday they are recommending the department officially oppose plans to bring up to 5,000 British soldiers to the province for training. But Foreign Affairs Minister John Manley said addressing the problem is no simple task. "We'll have to look at ways to deal with any possible threats, and if there are, hopefully we'll be able to accommodate them," he said. Manley added one step being taken is to disinfect visitors to Canada. "But how you deal with the broader issue of putting people in rural areas -- I'm not sure," he said. CFB Suffield Capt. Fern Martins said the British army and the Canadian Armed Forces are taking steps "above and beyond" to ensure the disease isn't brought into Canada. -- with files from AP canoe.ca
