Mr. Speaker, the minister was unable to manage the two latest crises and his only solution is to make more cuts within his department.
Bill S-11 made a simple promise: more resources for food inspection. Unfortunately, the minister is doing the opposite: he is allocating fewer resources and asking the employees to do more. That is a recipe for disaster. Three hundred food safety employees will be let go.
My question is simple: why is the minister making cuts to food safety?
