We would disagree with that assertion.
Yes, it does appear in the preamble. There's no questioning that. That is a valid statement. Unfortunately, however, it does not seem to be taken into consideration as much as we believe it should. We do believe they should look at maintaining health and safety as a priority, but they also need to ensure the economic and competitive lens is applied to their decisions.
This is also consistent with the commitments the government made in its recent platform, talking about ensuring it recognizes the cost of food in all of its regulatory decisions without compromising on health and safety. Therefore, we want to hold the government to account on that promise.
