Madam Speaker, the member should know that the CFIA enforces the same rigorous food safety standards on imported food as it does for domestic food.
I can give him some examples of what we have done to improve our import system. He should know this if he is on the agriculture committee.
Our recent budget includes an additional $100 million over five years to enhance food safety. We have delivered $223 million to the food safety action plan. To improve controls on imported food, we eliminated the 72 hour notification of inspections of meat imports. We have established an import surveillance team to perform 480 border blitzes.
Madam Speaker, I could go on, but I know my time is running out.
