Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the minister.
Minister, you and I both remember Ms. Weatherill very well. In fact, she wrote a very comprehensive report for your government.
Let me just quote from your new comprehensive report that you received just yesterday—or at least you tabled yesterday—on page 18:
What follows is a summary of Canada’s food safety network as it relates to beef and beef products. The reader who would like more information on the subject is encouraged to read Chapter 4 of the Weatherill Report, which describes this intricate system extensively.
Let me tell you what chapter 4 is, Minister: “How does Canada’s food safety system work?”
So here we are, four years after Weatherill's extensive report that said there were deficiencies in the system, and we have another report that says to go back and read chapter 4 and find out how the system works.
Sir, do you not find that a scathing indictment of not only your leadership but of the CFIA?
