I just have a quick comment.
I was at the meeting yesterday hearing from the CFIA. Many of the allegations made by the member from Malpeque simply have no basis in fact, and the witness was quite clear to point that out in a number of points in his testimony. I think it's fair to say that many of the items attributed to the CFIA and on food safety were absolutely incorrect and that the testimony of the officials showed it was quite the opposite. So I'm quite surprised that the member would raise this, given the fact that he made statements that just didn't bear out with reality and the facts as they are on the ground. I think the officials were quite clear in stating that food safety was a primary consideration and was enhanced by the actions that were taken, which were not negative.
So the member is trying to give a false impression to the public that just does not square with reality.
