Thank you, Chair.
I welcome the points of order from my friends across the way, which aren't, just as mine wasn't, and correctly so.
The chair's allowed to rule, and some of us have to learn by his rulings. We'll learn how to put proper points of order forward in the future—all of us, I hope.
At the end of the day, for the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture to suggest the way to actually fix the system, because clearly the system hasn't been fixed yet....
I think Mr. Mayers might actually agree with me, especially after what we just witnessed in the last number of months at the XL plant in Brooks, Alberta. My friend suggests that somehow we should just not speak too often or too harshly, because that may affect everything. Yes, it has an effect on it, but I would say, through you, Chair, with the greatest of respect to my colleagues across the way, that the greatest impact isn't whether I say words, but the effect of what happens when a processor link in the value chain fails to do what it needs to do. That's exactly what happened in Brooks, Alberta. They failed, miserably so, to the point where they are now the largest meat recall in this country's history.
Mr. Mayers, do you actually think the system failed? Did you think it was successful, or do we need to do better?
