I appreciate that you want to do the bidding of the union leader, but we have made very clear investments. We have enough inspectors. In fact, we are now rated the safest food system in the world.
Let me read to you what some actual experts, not union leaders, in the food safety system say. Dr. Keith Warriner, director of the food safety and quality assurance program at the University of Guelph, said that the suggestion that meat sold in Canada is unsafe is just scaremongering.
Another professor, who's in bio-resource policy at the University of Saskatchewan and a food safety expert, says:
Canada has one of the top, if not the top, food safety systems in the world. Other countries look to our regulatory system as a model of food safety.... ...food products that are available for purchase in our grocery stores are as safe as they possibly can be.
I would ask you to not fearmonger because food safety is very important to Canadians. Our inspectors are doing an excellent job.
