I understand that, sir. You're right, Mr. McCain is a very engaging gentleman who communicates very effectively. Thank goodness he's not decided to run in my riding. It might make things difficult for me.
He was so open, in the sense of communicating back and forth—this is his admission the other night—with the different agencies, he was talking with CFIA, he's been talking to the Ministry of Agriculture, doing the best he can. Did it ever occur to you that perhaps we should say to Mr. McCain, “You need to stand down, sir, because we need to be the face, because we're Public Health, not you. Folks have to be hearing us, because the media has turned us off because you're much better at it than we are, but we're Public Health.”
Maybe if that thought didn't occur, perhaps one of the lessons we should learn is that we need to tell folks in the private sector that they need to stand down. They can defend their company, do what they need to do, but stand down so that we become the public face and folks are actually hearing us rather than them when it comes to public safety around food. I'm not sure if you thought about that.
