It wasn't clear how you could make yourselves heard. I understand.
I have some additional questions and comments for Option consommateurs. We are all consumers and we are, in fact, at the end of the food chain. A product is handled by a lot of different people before it ends up in our plate, and yet we are the first ones to be affected. Consumers are the ones who became ill and died because of listeriosis. When I dared to suggest, the second time that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency appeared before the Sub-Committee, that there had been a crisis of confidence among consumers in terms of their trust in the food safety system, Ms. Swan, the President, hit the roof. In spite of that, I insisted that consumers on the ground are very concerned, given everything that happened.
Am I the only one to suddenly think that people were affected by the news that food was contaminated? The fact is that there is no need for 22 people to die. When spinach from the US was discovered to contain E. coli, everyone stopped buying spinach, wherever its origin.
It is clear that people are concerned. I would be interested in hearing your views on this.
