Mr. Speaker, while not necessarily accepting all the suggestions made in the hon. member's question, I would point out to him that a tremendous amount of information has been made available. There is obviously a difference of opinion with respect to this product.
Might I say that in all the very legitimate questioning about rBST we should be careful not to feed unfounded doubts and fears. We do not yet have the scientific analysis that is presently being conducted by the Department of Health. I think we should wait for it and we should get all the facts on the table.
In the meantime we should not engage in comments or allegations that question the safety of Canadian milk. To do so would be to harm the Canadian diary industry, including that very significant portion of the industry in the province of Quebec.
