Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
Since January 1997, following the preventive slaughter aimed at controlling scrapie in sheep, 11,000 sheep have been slaughtered in Quebec by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. There has been a total lack of information and transparency, and the producers have lost faith in the agency.
Will the minister agree to look at the situation immediately and put an end to the slaughter?
