Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll be asking my questions in French.
My first question is for Mr. Holmes.
I would like to give you an opportunity to react to the budget that was tabled last week.
I have in front of me a press release from the Union des consommateurs expressing concern and denouncing the continuation of the outrageous tax privileges granted to big corporations. They are worried about the impact of the cuts on the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
How do you and your members react to the cuts that are certain to occur?
