The new U.S. President puts a freeze on food labeling rules.
A White House memo that went out last week says it's important that President Barack Obama's appointees have the opportunity to review and approve any new regulations.
Canada's Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says the hold on the final Country of Origin Labeling rule isn't a surprise.
Ritz says the former Agriculture Secretary believes the Bush final rule would compliment trade while opponents say the country of origin freeze would give the Obama administration an opportunity to tighten legislation.
