I know we're outnumbered. I know in politics, in discussions like this, you have to pick a hill to die on. This is a hill I would want to die on because these fines are rarely imposed. In paragraph 39(1)(a), when we're talking about the indictment and the fine of not more than $5 million or imprisonment, this doesn't happen very often, when it comes to food safety, right? I think it was mentioned earlier that it's never happened; we've never seen this happen.
Whistle-blower protection is something that we've heard...the union representative was talking about the culture in XL Foods. I have never worked in a slaughterhouse. I've visited Cargill with the committee and I know it's very important to have a good culture. When you're dealing with food you have rules, and if you don't follow those rules, you're putting Canadian safety at risk.
This is something that I think we need to have in the legislation. We're supposed to be working together to make it the best it can be. I would be really disappointed if it wasn't included.
