The scandal is that the issue was public health and food safety. Instead of being transparent and explaining the plan, since someone had found it, the agency acted like a regime of terror. The example of Mr. Pomerleau was probably taken note of in the entire CFIA, and even in other government departments, carrying the message of what would happen if anyone was unfortunate enough to dare inform people. I repeat that, in this case, Mr. Pomerleau notified his union of the coming changes, which were worrying for Canadians in terms of public health. I consider that your work is important, since we still do not have the system we need to protect people like him.
