Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the hon. member, who is the official opposition critic for agriculture and agri-food.
How is it that there is nothing in this agriculture and agri-food reform about crisis management?
There was a crisis at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Cuts were made and there was a certain laissez-faire attitude towards health and safety. However, nothing in this legislation offers real protection for consumers.
I would like my colleague to talk some more about the provisions that could have been included in the bill, but that have been left out.
